Vonn 10th Fastest In Practice For Her First World Cup Downhill In 6 Years

Ski great Lindsey Vonn was 10th fastest in a training run on Thursday for her first World Cup downhill in six years.

Three weeks after her World Cup comeback with a titanium knee at age 40 in a super-G, Vonn completed the two-kilometer Karl Schranz course 2.55 seconds behind Federica Brignone of Italy.

The United States star was clocked at close to 109 kph 68 mph at a fast section of the hill where she won a downhill in December 2007.

A second practice is planned on Friday before the race on Saturday.

Vonn has won 43 World Cup downhills - a record for men and women - among her 82 career wins that is third on the all-time list. Mikaela Shiffrin , who is recovering after a crash in giant slalom last month, has 99 and Ingemar Stenmark won 86 in the 1970s and '80s.
