ANOTHER day, another title for Lindsey Vonn.
A day after clinching her fifth consecutive World Cup downhill title, the American sealed her third straight super-combined trophy yesterday after the final race in the discipline this season was canceled due to heavy snowfall on the Sochi 2014 Olympics course in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia.
The International Ski Federation had initially said the race might be rescheduled for Are, Sweden, next month, but then nixed that idea.
Vonn now has 14 World Cup titles in her career, and she's on course to add two more before the end of this season with a fourth overall globe and a fourth super-G title.
After the cancellation in Crans Montana two years ago sparked controversy, the FIS created a rule which states that a title can be awarded if two of three races are completed in a discipline.
With just two super-combi races completed this season, Vonn took the title with 180 points, 55 points ahead of Slovenia's Tina Maze and 60 points in front of Austria's Nicole Hosp.
