Lindsey Vonn won her first giant slalom since her career-altering 2013 World Championships crash, proving Saturday (against an unaccomplished field) that she’s the world’s best healthy and active skier.
Vonn captured her fourth straight victory and 71st overall, prevailing by .07 of a second over two runs in Åre, Sweden (full results). Once before has Vonn won four straight World Cup races, in December 2011.
It came hours after countrywoman Mikaela Shiffrin suffered a knee injury in warm-ups.
Vonn padded her standings lead for the World Cup overall title, the top prize this season with no Olympics or World Championships.
