Lindsey Vonn's time atop the downhill standings is over.
Italy's Laura Pirovano and Germany's Emma Aicher bumped the injured Vonn down to third in the season standings after the second downhill at the World Cup in Val di Fassa, Italy. Pirovano now leads the race for the season title after her second downhill win in as many days with 436 points. Aicher is 28 points behind with 408 points.
Vonn, who has 400 points, could slip even further with one race still to go. Germany's Kira Weidle-Winkelmann (351), Austria's Cornelia Huetter (344) and Olympic downhill champion Breezy Johnson (333) are also within 100 points of Vonn and could surpass her at the World Cup finals later this month.
Vonn said in an Instagram post Friday, March 6, that she knew this was coming.
"I didn’t want to win the title to prove anything to anyone. I did it because I knew I could. I just wish I had a chance to fight until the end to try and get it…" Vonn wrote.
