Lara Gut of Switzerland competes during the women's Alpine Skiing World Cup
with victory in a downhill ski race while all-time record winner
Lindsey Vonn faltered and Edit Miklos made ski sports history for
Hungary by coming third on Saturday.
Gut conquered the sun-drenched 2,804-metres Engiadina piste in 1
minute 43.82 seconds to claim her second season win and 12th overall
ahead of World Cup holder Anna Fenninger of Austria (1:44.14) and
Miklos (1:44.40).
Miklos, 26, is the first Hungarian ever to make a podium in a World
Cup ski sports competition of the ruling body FIS (alpine, freestyle,
snowboard, ski-jumping, cross-country, Nordic combined). Her previous
best result was fifth in a downhill in Crans Montana last year, and
she came seventh at the 2014 Olympics downhill in Sochi.
The American Vonn was fighting for victory with Gut at the splits
until she had a major mistake in the lower section, barely avoided a
fall and finished outside the top 20, 2.08 seconds behind Gut. Vonn
had on Monday raised the all-time record to 63 race wins.
Overall World Cup leader Tina Maze of Slovenia was outside the top
15, 1.74 seconds off the pace. Vonn remained first in the downhill
standings.
