Lindsey Vonn gained the headlines again last weekend with two more Audi FIS World Cup titles, including her fifth straight downhill crown. While Vonn's streak matched that of the great Annemarie Moser-Proell, an equally notable story was unfolding behind her with four U.S. women in the top 10. While that set a new U.S. mark, it actually didn't come as that much of a surprise. With six U.S. women in the top 25, it's the strongest and deepest downhill ski racing powerhouse in U.S. Ski Team history – men or women!
Winning is one thing. Winning over a sustained period of time is quite another. But that’s what Kelly Clark and Hannah Kearney are doing every time they get into the starting gate right now. In China last weekend, Kearney came from behind for win number 15 in a row. It was a tough battle as a bobble in the semifinals almost knocked our out of the top four Super Final.
