Goggia edges Vonn for 2nd day on 2018 Olympic course
Italian beat Vonn in the downhill event on Friday
Sofia Goggia edged Lindsey Vonn into second place at a World Cup event for the second time in two days, winning the Super-G at the 2018 Olympic course on Sunday to follow her victory in the downhill.
Goggia of Italy finished 0.04 seconds ahead of Vonn in the Super-G, 24 hours after beating her American rival by 0.07 in the downhill to capture her career first World Cup win.
Prior to this weekend, which is also serving as a test event for the Jeongseong Alpine Centre ahead of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Goggia had previously had nine podium finishes without taking centre-spot.
"I really like the course," Goggia said. "I tried to push as hard as I could ... this win means a lot to me."
Vonn, who is still progressing on her comeback after breaking her arm last November, has not won a Super-G at a World Cup event since January last year.
"Of course, I am disappointed to be a few hundredths from two wins but I always feel like in skiing, the luck will come back to you," Vonn said. "I am hoping that next year, that luck can come back and I can be on the top podium."
Vonn is looking forward to returning to the course, located around 214 kilometers (133 miles) east of Seoul, next February for the Olympics.
"The main point of this weekend is that I am confident on this hill," she said. "I really like it. I know what I can do to be faster."
Ilka Stuhec of Slovenia also repeated her third-place from the downhill finishing 0.53 seconds behind Goggia on the 1.99 (1 1/4 miles) kilometre course located around 214 kilometres east of Seoul.
Stuhec moves to first place in the season-long standings ahead of Tina Weirather of Leichenstein, who placed ninth here on Sunday, to lead the race for the Super-G crystal globe, the prize awarded for the overall season champion.
Vonn, who is still progressing on her comeback after breaking her arm last November, said after placing second on Saturday that that the result "just makes me even more hungry for the Olympics next year."
