Vail's Lindsey Vonn took the women's overall title for a second straight year yesterday as she beat the pack in the last downhill event of the season during World Cup finals in Sweden.
Vonn tells The Associated Press [2] that her streak is "huge": "No American female has ever done that so it means a lot."
There are three races left at the finals, and Vonn is dominating the overall standings. She also has a chance to win the super-G title, like she did at world championships last month, trailing Fabienne Suter of Switzerland by only 15 points.
