Skidronning in the blazing goodbye

The american skidronning Lindsey Vonn has run her last professional race.

Sunday afternoon, she joined his career in the downhill at the WORLD championships in Swedish Åre. She sped into the goal in the time 1 minute and 2,23 seconds.

It went to the bronze. The winner, slovenian Ilka Stuhec, was 0,49 seconds faster in the first place and took his second WORLD cup medal.

the silver medal went to schweizeren Corinne Suter, who was 0,23 seconds from Stuhec.

Vonn can look back on a unique career, where she won the 82 World Cup races. It is clearly the most number of women ever.

in Addition, she has won gold at both the OLYMPICS and the WORLD cup.

Before the season, she had stated that it would be her last on the top. Karrierestoppet was accelerated because of the damage.

Søndagsturen down the Swedish pist was shortened due to fog and wind in the area.

It meant that styrtløberne started further down the mountain than planned. Immediately, it was an advantage for Vonn, who has struggled with pain in both of his operated knee.

Vonn was sent off as the number three. After a slow start she got off in the skis towards the end and hammered in the goal in the best time.

At the finish line took the Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmark against her. He is the only one who has more World Cup victories than Vonn.

Storsmilende and with a bouquet of flowers in hand she followed the other competitors, one after the other, sped into the goal.

When the competitor Sofia Goggia put a queer time, it began in earnest to look good for Lindsey Vonns medaljemuligheder.

the Gold disappeared, however, when Ilka Stuhec flew down the mountain.

She was 0,75 seconds faster than Vonn at the first piece, and in spite of the crown of a good ending put sloveneren best time.

Since also drove Corinne Suter faster than Vonn, but the crown of a podium finish was assured.
