BANSKO, Bulgaria — Lindsey Vonn won her fourth straight super-G race Sunday and promised to chase more World Cup trophies.
“There is no conservative skiing for me,” the 24-year-old Ski Club Vail product said. “I have to be really aggressive — that’s my strategy.”
The defending World Cup overall champion widened her lead in the standings to nearly 400 points. She also moved into contention for the super-G trophy a day after clinching the downhill title, joining her idol, Picabo Street, as the only Americans to win back-to-back titles in the discipline. Vonn won the super-G in 1 minute, 14.49 seconds.
