Just a day after clinching the overall World Cup championship and the downhill championship, Vonn won the final super-G race of the season and clinched the world championship in that discipline as well.
She is the first American woman to win a super-G world championship. It was her ninth World Cup win this winter and the fourth straight super-G win.
She now leads all American women with two overall titles, 22 career wins and 47 podium finishes.

I love that sport, but Im still amazed watching the basketball game between Syracuse and UConn, in the overtime#6! Those kids are worn out!!
i can’t get into basketball, but i could watch a warren miller flick any day of the week. :) enjoy the moglies! ;)
She’s a beaut.
Bode Miller could take some lessons in class from her.
Thanks for the photos. Three shots of a cute girl and one bit of red hot porn. Righteous!
The american womens downhill team is looking very strong going into the Vancouver winter olympics next year.
Vonn is just in the zone right now and she’s a real class act. Maria Riesch of Germany and Vonn have been battling each other the past season and will be the favorities for gold at Whistler.
Go Vonn!!! Go USA!!!
Too bad I only learned about this on Free Republic, I sure didn’t see it in any other news .... that should be one of those “banner” headlines. Seems anything that could make America proud is summarily ignored.
Huh? porn? An athletic young woman wiping sweat from her forehead and you think that's "red hot porn"? Good grief...
Vonn is good on slalom too.
Finished the season second in the world.
I think he was talking about the action skiing photo
She’s healthy looking, ain’t she?
