 WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) - Lindsey Vonn clinched the World Cup downhill title Friday, becoming the first American woman to claim the crown since Picabo Street in 1996.
"It's great to seal the deal with two races left," said Vonn, who also leads the World Cup overall standings. "I don't have to worry about that anymore. That's a big check off on my lifetime goals. It definitely feels great."
Nadia Styger of Switzerland won the race in 1 minute, 45.30 seconds. Vonn made a mistake near the bottom of the course and finished 0.01 behind Styger.
