There was a surprise winner in the women's World Championship downhill in Austrian Saalbach.

American Breezy Johnson was assigned start number one, and then she could see one skier after another cross the finish line with a time that couldn't match her own.

None of the other 32 skiers managed to beat Johnson, who thereby took her first championship gold in her career.

The 29-year-old recently returned after a long suspension for doping offenses, after missing three consecutive controls.

For her compatriot, Lindsey Vonn, it was a heavier day. The 40-year-old was far behind and finished in 15th place, 1.96 seconds behind.

Second was local skier Mirjam Puchner and Czech Ester Ledecka finished third.
