Lindsey Vonn leads USA to historic finish in Lake Louise World Cup

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn has marked her return to competition by leading the USA to an historic one-two-three finish at the Lake Louise World Cup over the weekend.

The 30-year-old, who is in a relationship with golfer Tiger Woods, claimed her first win on Saturday following a lengthy stint on the sidelines with a torn knee ligament, which she suffered in a crash early last year.

Vonn came first in the downhill event, but she failed to reach the top of the podium in the Super-G competition after coming second to Switzerland's Lara Gut on Sunday.

Vonn has won the World Cup big globe four times in her career.
