Lindsey Vonn missed the first five-race winning streak of her career by one hundredth of a second.
Vonn took second behind Swiss Lara Gut in a World Cup super combined in Val d’Isere, France, on Friday.
Vonn entered the afternoon slalom run with a .38 lead over Gut with the fastest time in the morning downhill.
But Gut, better at speed events like Vonn, put down a blistering slalom — fifth-fastest of the day — to put the pressure on Vonn, the last racer to go, at the start house.
Vonn, who said before the race she would “wing it” on slalom with about two days of training in her least-favorite discipline, nonetheless had the ninth-fastest slalom run.
