Lindsey Vonn: Victory Tracker – Career Retrospective

Known as the most successful female ski racer in American history – and quickly gaining on “all time” status – Lindsey Vonn is one of the few world-class, four-event ski racers. She is the only American woman to have captured downhill gold at the Olympics and the only American woman with four World Cup overall titles. Six weeks after she turned 20, Vonn (then Kildow) produced her first World Cup victory in Lake Louise, Alberta. She has since captured a U.S. record 57 World Cup wins. In addition to her 2010 Olympic downhill gold and super G bronze, she holds five World Championship medals including two gold in 2009.

Vonn took the 2012 season by storm and unleashed a speed hurricane that included a record 12 World Cup wins en route to her fourth Audi FIS Alpine World Cup overall title in addition to her fifth straight downhill crown, fourth super G title and third consecutive super combined globe to bring her career total to 16. AND she reset the women’s all time World Cup point total record to 1,980, falling just 20 points shy of Hermann Maier’s men’s record.

But dig deeper into those wins and it’s easy to see why she dominated 2012. She produced near two second downhill wins, landed two giant slalom victories to finish second in the giant slalom standings and locked the overall title with five races remaining in the season.

The season moved her well into the world’s all-time elite. Among women’s racers, Vonn stands behind only the all-time World Cup win marks of Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 62. Among men, she’s only shy of Ingemar Stenmark (86). (Courtesy of usskiteam.com)
