Lindsey Vonn: I’m not going for the World Cup overall title

Lindsey Vonn has shifted focus away from winning the biggest annual prize in her sport to the continued pursuit of one of Alpine skiing’s hallowed records.

Vonn’s eyes are not set on the World Cup overall title this season, according to her Twitter account.

This is a big change from 18 months ago.

After the 2015 World Championships, the sport’s most recent major event, Vonn said her goal for the 2015-16 season was to grab her fifth career World Cup overall title, and her first since two major knee surgeries that forced her to miss the Sochi Olympics.
