Lindsey Vonn's champagne bottle accident, while she was celebrating her historic double gold, caused her to injure her right thumb. She has now got another record but perhaps will be more careful of how she celebrates this milestone!
Vonn's victory in a super-G Sunday was the 19th World Cup win of her career, breaking Tamara McKinney's U.S. women's record. Lindsey clocked 1 minute, 21.72 seconds down the Prampero course, followed by Fabienne Suter of Switzerland, 0.51 seconds back, and Tina Maze of Slovenia.
"It definitely is nice to have the satisfaction of knowing that I still can win with this injury," she said. Lindsey Vonn has won 11 downhills, four super-G's, two super-combis and two slaloms in her career.
