Lindsey wins downhill race in Cortina!

By winning today’s World Cup downhill race in Cortina/Italy, Lindsey clinches her fifth victory this season! Tina Maze of Slovenia was runner up, 0.43 seconds behind and Lindsey’s team-mate Leanne Smith was third with 0.89 seconds back.

Lindsey produces a stunning run and even though she’s made a mistake in the middle section of the course, she quickly recovered to stay on the icy course. With an extraordinary line to the finish Lindsey showed yet another time her brilliancy and strength in downhill races. Thus, it was a very successful comeback for Lindsey after taking a break due to her health problems in November.
The women’s FIS Alpine World Cup continues with a Super-G tomorrow in Cortina.
