The greatest female alpine skier in American history retired on top. Well, maybe not on top. But still impressive. Lindsey Vonn (USA) won a bronze in the World Championship Downhill in her final competitive race. At 34 years old, she is the oldest lady to win at the Worlds. She beat fellow American, Lindsey Vonn who won two years ago at age 32. She won the bronze in the downhill following a crash in the Super G less than a week ago. She becomes the first female skier to win at six Worlds. She won 82 World Cup races. But her body is done. The surgically repaired knees, worn out neck, sore back, hours in the training room. She won again. Maybe not gold, but bronze. Which is enough to be the Longhorndave Sportsmwoman of the Week!
