BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — With lofty expectations and a highly energetic hometown crowd cheering on her every turn, Lindsey Vonn was unable to win a second medal at the world championships, finishing fifth in the ladies downhill.
Vonn completed her run on the steep and sinuous 1.6-mile Raptor downhill course in one minute 46.94 seconds, slightly more than a second off the pace of Slovenian winner Tina Maze.
