Vonn wins Super-G to complete Canada treble
Lindsey Vonn completed her third treble sweep at Lake Louise in five seasons by winning Sunday's World Cup Super-G race at the Canadian piste to seize the overall lead.
The 31-year-old American swept downhills Friday and Saturday and completed her weekend hat-trick with a run of 1:19.79 for her 70th career World Cup victory, 18 of them coming at Lake Louise.
Austrian Tamara Tippler was second in 1:21.11 with compatriot Cornelia Huetter third in 1:21.14.
Reigning downhill and Super-G World Cup champion Vonn has had a magical run at Lake Louise since taking her first World Cup win there in 2004.
Vonn, the most decorated women's skier in World Cup history, also won three races at Lake Louise in 2011 and 2012. She was hurt in a 2013 training run barely two weeks before Lake Louise, reinjuring her right knee, and settled for 40th and 11th in downhills and fifth in the Super-G.
But with her latest triumph, she edged just ahead of compatriot Mikaela Shiffrin 300-296 for the overall season points lead and took the Super-G lead as well.
Vonn seeks her fifth overall crown in nine seasons and first since 2012, her sixth Super-G crown in eight seasons and eighth downhill crown in nine seasons.
