Lindsey Vonn is back on top.
In the most remarkable milestone yet of her comeback, Vonn won the downhill at St. Moritz on Friday. It's her 83rd World Cup victory, and first since March 2018. Vonn skied into the safety net after crossing the finish line and collapsed into the snow, a wide grin on her face.
After getting up, she let out a scream and shook her fists in triumph. She then dropped a Steph Curry "night, night," putting her face in one hand and waving goodbye with the other.
Indeed, no one was going to top Vonn on this day. She finished almost a second head of surprise silver medalist Magdalena Egger of Austria, who started 27th. Vonn was more than a second ahead of Austria's Mirjam Puchner, the silver medalist in downhill at last year's worlds.
Vonn smiled and mugged for the cameras while waiting for the rest of the skiers to finish. She got congratulations from her good friend, Italy's Sofia Goggia, and Aksel Lund Svindal, the Olympic champion who became her coach in the offseason.
