Vonn earned her third crystal globe this season, tying the U.S. record set by Phil Mahre in 1982.

The girl can sure race. And she's cute too.

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.

"red hot porn"

Huh? porn? An athletic young woman wiping sweat from her forehead and you think that's "red hot porn"? Good grief...
