LA THUILE, Italy (AP) Apologizing for a gaffe on social media, Lindsey Vonn had little to celebrate after clinching a record 20th World Cup crystal globe title Saturday.
A day earlier, Vonn posted a video of an angry outburst in which she destroyed her bindings with a hammer following a race where one of her skis detached.
Vonn spent the night drafting an apology with her Los Angeles-based agent and called Head group chairman Johan Eliasch personally.
Still, Vonn bounced back to finish second Saturday and wrap up the season-long downhill championship.
Nadia Fanchini of Italy won with a 0.14-second margin ahead of Vonn in a race that was shortened due to strong winds.
Italy's Daniele Merighetti finished third.
Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark held the previous record of 19 globes.
