This week the Ski World Cup Finals take place in Lenzerheide but due to heavy fog the (men’s) and women’s downhill races today had to be cancelled. That means now – Lindsey (in absence) clinched her sixth consecutive women’s World Cup downhill title as she was leading the current downhill standings, 1 point ahead of Tina Maze (Slovenia)! And Lindsey expressed her happiness via twitter: “Omg I won the World Cup Downhill title!!!!! 6 in a row with a bum knee! Everything in life comes back around.”
This season was quite tough for Lindsey, it ended yet too early after her horrible accident at the World Championships in Schladming/Austria and consequently she missed the last two events. But still, when Lindsey was racing the downhill courses in North America and Europe this winter, she was able to show a great performance and her strength in this discipline: She won 3 races (2 in Lake Louise/Canada, 1 in Cortina d’Ampezzo/Italy) and together with her 6th place at the downhill in St. Anton, she reached a total of 340 points in the downhill standings – which lead Lindsey to her sixth World Cup Downhill title!
