Lindsey Vonn’s Poor Run Continues as Rival Sends Emotional Message After Beating American Legend to World Title

Lindsey Vonn’s struggles continued in the latest Super-G race in La Thuile, Italy, as she finished 13th, missing out on a podium spot once again. Meanwhile, Italy’s Federica Brignone secured an emotional victory in front of her home crowd, clocking 57.95 seconds. This win not only earned Brignone the world title but also propelled her to the top of the Super-G standings, edging out Lara Gut-Behrami by five points.

Brignone, overwhelmed by emotions, expressed her joy after the race, stating it had been her dream to win in La Thuile. She had a strong performance, overcoming tough competition, including early leader Romane Miradoli. While the Italian skiers dominated, Lindsey Vonn’s comeback struggles have raised concerns, with her best finish this season being fourth place in January. Despite her determination, she has yet to reclaim her past dominance.

The race also saw surprises, including Super-G standings leader Gut-Behrami finishing joint fourth. Meanwhile, Germany’s Emma Aicher, who led early, missed a gate and did not finish. As Vonn continues her comeback, questions remain about whether she can regain her form before the 2026 Winter Olympics. Fans and experts alike are divided on whether the American legend can return to her winning ways.
