Saturday’s victory marked the first time the 25-year-ancient Vonn has won two downhills in two days at Lake Louise. The course hosts two downhills each year, weather permitting.
The two-time overall World Cup overall champion from Vail, Colo., will also be in the hunt to win Sunday’s super-G.
“I’ve only gotten two wins back-to-back once, so I reckon three is pushing my luck,” Vonn said. “I’m certainly going to go out tomorrow and try my best, and I’m just hoping for a podium.”
The U.S. Ski Team said it was the best overall showing for American women in a World Cup downhill since March 16, 1991, at Vail, Colo. Alice McKennis – a 20-year-ancient in her third career World Cup race – finished 10th, former Truckee resident Stacey Cook 11th, Julia Mancuso of Olympic Valley 12th, Leanne Smith 23rd, and Chelsea Marshall
