Lindsey Vonn has fallen while on pace for a podium finish at a World Cup super-G on the course that will host skiing at next year's Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Federica Brignone had zero World Cup downhill wins in her stellar career before Saturday. Lindsey Vonn had a record 43.

Swiss Olympic champions Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter placed fourth and fifth, respectively, and defending downhill World Cup champion Cornelia Huetter placed sixth. Jacqueline Wiles in seventh was the top American finisher.

Vonn, 0.58 seconds behind after starting 32nd of the 51 starters, raised her arms as if she had won after her exhilarating effort.

ST. ANTON, Austria (AP) — Federica Brignone had zero World Cup downhill wins in her stellar career. Lindsey Vonn had a record 43. Malorie Blanc had never even started a World Cup downhill.

Lindsey Vonn placed a pleasantly surprising sixth in her first World Cup downhill in six years and her second World Cup race overall since unretiring this season at age 40. Vonn, the 2010 Olympic downhill gold medalist, finished 58 hundredths of a second behind Italian Federica Brignone.
