Vonn is the favorite for the downhill on Saturday and a super-G on Sunday after winning both events at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

Those victories gave Vonn 63 career World Cup wins, overtaking Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell.

St. Moritz is the last women's World Cup stop before the world championships start Feb. 2 in Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado.
