At the top: Vonn breaks all-time World Cup wins record

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Lindsey Vonn provisionally won a super-G on Monday to break Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup victories.

For win No. 63, the American clocked 1 minute 27.03 seconds down the Olympia delle Tofane course to finish 0.85 ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria.

Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was third, 0.92 back.

Some lower-ranked skiers were still to race.

Vonn got record-tying win No. 62 in a downhill Sunday.

Moser-Proell, an Austrian great, established her record between 1970 and 1980.

Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark holds the men’s record of 86 wins.

It was Vonn’s first win in super-G this season and her fourth overall this campaign, showing a return to top form after two knee injuries kept her out of last year’s Sochi Olympics.
