vonnAmerican alpine skier, Lindsey Vonn, took gold for the women’s downhill today in Whistler, becoming the first American woman ever to win this Olympic event. She finished with a time of one minute, 44.19 seconds.
Vonn has dominated the winter sport in recent years. She was the back to back World Cup Champion in 2008 and 2009, and was heavily favoured to win the downhill event, despite a shin injury acquired during training.
Vonn was followed by her American teammate, Julia Mancusa, who took silver with a time of one minute, 44.75.
Team U.S.A. is ecstatic over the win, but no one is feeling better than Vonn. The official Olympic Website has quoted her as saying, “It’s one of the most incredible moments of my life. When I crossed the finish line and saw my name in first and Julia’s second, it was just the coolest thing.”
