Lindsey Vonn won the super-G season finale at the World Cup finals Thursday at Are, Sweden, becoming the first American woman to capture the championship title in the discipline.
Vonn earned her third crystal globe this season, tying the U.S. record set by Phil Mahre in 1982.
The 24-year-old Vonn finished the Olympia course in 1 minute 20.63 seconds. A day earlier, she clinched the World Cup overall title for the second straight year by winning downhill.
Nadia Fanchini of Italy finished runner-up in 1:20.71 and was second in the final super-G standings.
This was Vonn's ninth World Cup win this winter, setting another U.S. record for the most World Cup wins in one season -- male or female.
She leads all American women with two overall titles, 22 career wins and 47 podium finishes. Her consecutive downhill titles matched Picabo Street in 1995-96.
