Sixth in downhill and then fourth in super-G.

Star Lindsey Vonn, USA, missed the podium when the Alpine World Cup visited Swiss S:t Anton.

Sunday's super-G still offered an American triumph as Vonn's 18-year-younger compatriot Lauren Macuga stole the show and took her first World Cup victory.

The 22-year-old was 68 hundredths of a second faster than Stephanie Venier, Austria. Italian Federica Brignone became third.

Vonn, who made a comeback just before Christmas, was 32 hundredths from a podium spot.
