Lindsey Vonn wins first world ski medal since 2011

True, Vonn has barely been away from one. Just ask Tiger Woods, who lost a tooth when a camera hit him in the face while cheering Vonn onto the podium in Italy last month.

But Tuesday’s podium was special. It marked the ski superstar’s first medal at a World Championships in four years.

The 30-year-old came to this year’s World Championships, in Beaver Creek, Colorado, having just set the all-time record for wins on the regular, season-long women’s World Cup circuit..

Vonn remains the favorite for Friday’s downhill.

Meanwhile, 37-year-old compatriot Bode Miller is set to race in Wednesday’s men’s super-G, despite only having completed training runs since undergoing back surgery three months ago.
