Lindsey Vonn’s winning streak snapped

For the first time in 13 World Cup speed races, Lindsey Vonn crossed the finish line and saw a number other than “1” next to her name.

Vonn was beaten by Swiss Lara Gut and German Viktoria Rebensburg in a World Cup super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on Sunday. Lower-ranked skiers were still to race.

Gut was .15 faster than Rebensburg and .23 better than Vonn, who would break Renate Götschl‘s record with her 42nd World Cup super-G podium if the places hold. Full results are here.

Vonn had a clear error near the end of course, losing balance and lifting her right ski off the snow, but she was already behind Gut in the two most recent split times.
