ALTENMARKT-ZAUCHENSEE, Austria (AP) — Lindsey Vonn has won a women’s World Cup downhill for her fourth victory of the season.
The defending overall champion skied well off course in a sharp right turn but recovered in time to finish the 3-kilometer Kaelberloch course in 1 minute, 46.39 seconds Saturday to beat Sweden’s Anja Paerson by 0.43.
It’s the 20th career downhill title and 37th overall for the American.
Austria’s Anna Fenninger was 0.98 seconds back in third, while World Cup leader Maria Riesch took fourth — another 0.07 behind Vonn.
The German remained on top of the standings with 883 points, followed by Vonn with 747.
