Val-d'Isère - Arab Today
Elisabeth Goergl beat fellow Austrian Anna Fenninger in the women's World Cup super-G at Val d'Isere on Sunday as Lindsey Vonn crashed out.
Vonn was seeking to follow up Saturday's downhill win in the French Alps which put her to within one of Annemarie Moser-Proell's all-time World Cup record of 62.
But as the American snow queen's record-equalling bid failed to take off Goergl was celebrating a tight five hundredths of a second win over Olympic champion Fenninger.
Goergl, slalom and super-G world champion in 2011, clocked a time of 1min 25.42 seconds.
Slovenia's Tina Maze finished in third, and following Saturday's fourth place, she retained control of the overall World Cup standings.
For defending World Cup champion Fenninger this was a bolder performance than her 11th place of 24 hours earlier.
