Lindsey, who won five downhill races this season, already had the Audi FIS World Cup ladies’ downhill globe wrapped up last month, before her crash in the Super-G in Andorra. Yesterday she was in St. Moritz to pick up her historic 8th downhill crystal globe!
And with the win of the downhill title this season, she has now a total of 20 crystal globes – and thus broke the record mark of 19 crystal globes, held by Ingemar Stenmark.
“I’m so proud of what I have done and happy that I was able to come back here and accept my Globe.” Lindsey said. “I felt like I had a really great year – nine wins – and to be able to still take home one Globe at least, even though I had to end my season early, it means a lot. I worked so hard and was so close – I was leading four titles when I got hurt – so to still have at least one (Globe), that was huge and I’m pretty excited about it.”
Lindsey was still in the lead of the super-G standings until today’s last SG race of the season. However, Lara Gut/Switzerland and Tina Weirather/Liechtenstein surpassed Lindsey with their results today – thus, Lindsey finished third in the super-G standings.
