Holy cow! Lindsey Vonn mooooves closer to history with downhill win
Lindsey Vonn already has a Tiger (Woods, that is). And now she's added to her love of animals, winning a baby cow after capturing the downhill race in Val D'Isere, France, on Saturday.
"This is the best prize for winning a race EVER!! I have a new addition to my growing herd...meet "Winnie" my one month old baby calf," the U.S. skier posted on Instagram after picking up her 61st career win.
Vonn is on the comeback trail after injuries forced her to miss the Sochi Winter Olympics earlier this year.
A victory in Sunday's super-G would equal Vonn, 30, with the Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proll for all-time wins.
Vonn has been on a winning streak as of late. After going for nearly two years without a victory, she won a downhill at a World Cup event in Lake Louise, Canada, two weeks ago, and placed second in super-G the following day.
"In Lake Louise, I won so many times that some people automatically assume that I should win there," Vonn had said. "I already knew I could win here today. It was for other people to understand that I'm back to where I used to be."
