Lindsey Vonn - DH Fri. 1/8/10

[Rambo]

Lindsey is back on track despite her badly bruised left arm.
She has intense pain pushing off at the start and this slows her down some trying to explode out of the start gate.

HAUS IM ENNSTAL, Austria (Jan. 9) - Heavy fog has delayed the start of the Audi FIS World Cup downhill start in Austria, giving U.S. favorite Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) time to think before chasing her fifth consecutive downhill win from the lower super G start at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET).

Vonn has now won all five world cup downhill races this year, with a career total win of 38 races. Only Bode Miller has more with 41.

Wow! I guess Lindsey has become quite fluent in speaking German.

"Because she speaks German, she is a big deal in Europe, where skiing can be front-of-the-sports-section news."

I guess she blew it today.
