Aicher pips Vonn to downhill win at St Moritz
Germany's Emma Aicher denied Lindsey Vonn a second straight World Cup downhill win at St Moritz on Saturday as the American produced another impressive run in a remarkable comeback.
Vonn briefly looked on track for a second victory in as many days after knocking Sofia Goggia off top spot, but Aicher powered down the sun-drenched Corviglia course to claim her third World Cup triumph.
Aicher beat Vonn by 0.24 seconds as Goggia, the 2018 Olympic champion from Italy, rounded out the podium.
The 41-year-old Vonn became the oldest skier to win a World Cup race in Friday's downhill at the Swiss resort, her first victory since 2018 -- and first in her comeback with titanium implants in her right knee.
Vonn returned to the circuit last December after a five-year retirement with her main goal being the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Vonn heads the downhill standings, with a 35 point lead over Aicher, while fellow American Mikaela Shiffrin, who was not competing on Saturday, still tops the overall standings.
