Goggia wins World Cup super-G as Vonn takes third
Sofia Goggia won a wind-swept super-G in Val d'Isere on Sunday as Lindsey Vonn continued to collect podium places on her comeback.
Italian Goggia finished her run in 1 minute 20.24 seconds to edge New Zealander Alice Robinson, winner of the only previous women's super-G this season, by 0.15sec.
Vonn, who hit 105 kilometres per hour (65 mph), the top speed of any of the contenders, near the end of her run, was 0.36sec behind Goggia. It was the 41-year-old American's fourth top-three finish in nine days.
The 41-year-old Vonn has made a remarkable return to the circuit after years out following the fitting of a titanium prosthesis to her right knee.
Last Friday in St Moritz she won her first World Cup race since 2018 in the downhill to throw down the gauntlet to her far younger rivals ahead of the Cortina-Milan Winter Olympics in February.
The headwind caused problems for racers but switched directions at the top of the course giving lower-ranked later skiers a push at the start.
The competition was briefly interrupted when a giant inflatable cheese, advertising an Italian brand, escaped its tethers and knocked down the course-side fence and was removed entirely.
