Lindsey Vonn won her third straight World Cup downhill title Saturday with a narrow victory in her first race since the Vancouver Olympics.
She beat Johanna Schnarf of Italy by a mere 0.01 seconds in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, and tied Bode Miller for the most career World Cup victories by an American at 32.
"It was a tough race out there," Vonn said. "Sometimes there would be a headwind, sometimes a tail wind. It was snowing really hard, and there was a lot of new snow on the track."
