\u201cI always felt like I was holding back in Super G a bit [before], but not a part of me was scared today – I just wanted to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vonn finished 0.27sec off the pace to take fourth place on what has been a successful weekend for the veteran on the Corviglia piste in the Swiss Alps.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old became the oldest skier to win a World Cup race in Friday\u2019s downhill, her first victory since 2018 – and first in her comeback with titanium implants in her right knee.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the American narrowly missed out on a second straight World Cup downhill win at St Moritz, finishing second behind German Emma Aicher.<\/p>\n
For US pair Vonn and Shiffrin, it was their first World Cup race together since 2019.<\/p>\n
Vonn lost time on the technical second section and was just behind Goggia in the final podium spot.<\/p>\n
Shiffrin was racing in a speed event for the first time since her heavy crash in January 2024 on the downhill at Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo in Italy damaged her left knee.<\/p>\n
Starting with the number 31 bib, the record holder of 104 World Cup titles missed the last gate after a run where she was less than a second off the pace.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old was heading for a potential top 10 finish but missed the penultimate gate and registered a DNF.<\/p>\n
Shriffin will next head to Courchevel in France on Tuesday, when she will bid for her fifth slalom win in a row as the two-time Olympic gold medallist builds towards the Milan-Cortina Games from February 6-22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI always felt like I was holding back in Super G a bit [before], but not a part…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[74,3359,15408,10542,8231,12513,18984,1888,3232,78,116292,116293,116295,116291,111,139,69,21940,3512,1527,26479,116296,25093,213,11420,1346,116290,1865,116294,6123,6202,2834,377,1530,2963],"class_list":["post-183629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-after","tag-alice","tag-almost","tag-cup","tag-event","tag-failed","tag-finish","tag-first","tag-fourth","tag-in","tag-limelight","tag-lindsey","tag-mikaela","tag-moritz","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-placed","tag-racing","tag-return","tag-robinson","tag-shiffrin","tag-speed","tag-sports","tag-st","tag-stole","tag-superg","tag-today","tag-vonn","tag-while","tag-wins","tag-womens","tag-world","tag-years","tag-zealands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
