Lara Gut of Switzerland won her first super-G race of the season on Sunday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany to cut into Lindsey Vonn's overall World Cup lead
Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany edged Vonn for second place and prevented the American from winning back-to-back races on the Kandahar hill. Vonn won Saturday's downhill.
Still, Vonn set an all-time high with her 42nd podium finish in a Super-G. Renate Goetschl of Austria had 41.
Vonn's 27 World Cup wins in Super-G races is already a record for both men and women. She had won seven of the last eight Super-G races going back to January 2015.
But Gut found the winning line on a dark and bumpy course to win by .15 seconds. Vonn was .23 seconds back in third.
Gut now has 17 career wins.
