Aicher's Super-G victory moves her past Lindsey Vonn in overall Super-G cup

In yesterday's downhill race, she came close to a podium finish when the World Cup restarted after the Olympics. In the Super-G competition in Soldeu, Andorra, no one could stop the Sundsvall-born 22-year-old.

During the Olympics, Aicher, who represents Germany, won silver in both the downhill and the team competition.

On Friday, she was close to a new podium finish, but came fourth in the downhill by just under three-tenths of a second.

Saturday's Super-G, however, served as quick revenge. Aicher took a clear victory - just over nine-tenths of a second ahead of New Zealand's Alice Robinson.

The victory means Aicher moves past American star Lindsey Vonn to third place in the overall Super-G cup. Vonn crashed and seriously injured one of her legs in the Olympic downhill race.

The leader of the Super-G cup is Italy's Sofia Goggia, 96 points ahead of Aicher. Second is Alice Robinson.
