Vonn Wins Giant Slalom, Clinches Overall Title Lindsey Vonn became the only American to clinch four overall titles Friday by winning the World Cup giant slalom race. Vonn took the lead after the first run and finished in 2 minutes, 28.0 seconds. Italian Federica Brignone was second, 0.48 behind Vonn, followed by Olympic champion Viktora Rebensburg of Germany. Vonn was tied with Phil Mahre of the United States with three overall titles. "I don't know what to say," an emotional Vonn said. I just wanted to have two aggressive runs today. I felt like I had nothing to lose and I was having fun. I'm just really excited, I'm thrilled. It's crazy. Vonn won the overall title from 2008-2010. Last season Vonn just missed out on the title, finishing three points behind German Maria Hoefl-Riesch.

With this overall title, Vonn surpasses Croatian Janica Kostelic, Swiss Vreni Schneider and Austrian Petra Kronberger, who all won three overall cups during their careers. Only Austria's Annemarie Moser-Proell has more overall World Cup titles than Vonn with six. The downhill specialist dominated in the 1970s. Vonn has set the goal of breaking 2,000 points this season, which has never been done by a female alpine skier. In 2006, Kostelic set the overall points record for women, amassing 1,970 points to claim the crystal globe. Breaking 2,000 looks like a serious possibility for Vonn, who has 1,808 points with five World Cup races remaining. It was the 52nd World Cup race win for Vonn, but only her second in giant slalom. She won the season's opening giant slalom in Soelden in October to become the fifth woman to win a World Cup race in all five disciplines. Vonn is third on the all-time list for World Cup wins. Moser-Proell won 62 and Schneider 55 during their careers. "I think the way I skied during my second race in Ofterschwang gave me a lot of (giant slalom) confidence," Vonn said.
