How Sweep It Is!
BORMIO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn completed the first American sweep of men’s and women’s ski titles in 25 years by winning the overall World Cup.
Lindsey Vonn was all smiles after adding the women’s World Cup overall title to her downhill crown.
Vonn was assured of the win when she finished in the top 15 in the slalom and the only skier with a chance to catch her, Germany\’s Maria Riesch, failed to finish.
“It was amazing today,” Vonn said. “I\’m just really happy that it’s over.”
Bode Miller won his second overall title Thursday with a 12th-place finish in the super-G combined with Didier Cuche’s announcement that he would not enter Saturday’s season-ending slalom.
The last Americans to win both titles together were Phil Mahre and Tamara McKinney in 1983. Rock on!
