CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn won a super-G Monday with a flawless run for her record 63rd World Cup victory.
Vonn clocked 1 minute 27.03 seconds down the Olympia delle Tofane course to finish 0.85 ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria.
Vonn’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, surprised her in the finish area, where the pair shared an emotional embrace.
Vonn exclaimed: “No way!” when she saw him.
“I didn’t think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here this is unbelievable,” Vonn said. “I said, ‘I can’t believe you came.’ And he said, ‘I told you.’ ”
It was Vonn’s first win in super-G this season and her fourth overall this campaign, showing a return to top form after two knee injuries kept her out of last year’s Sochi Olympics.
Perhaps more importantly, the win showed Vonn is dominating again just weeks before her home world championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado.
The 30-year-old Vonn is also planning to compete through the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Vonn has won 32 downhills, 21 super-Gs, three giant slaloms, two slaloms and five combined races.
Not included in those numbers are Vonn’s gold medal in downhill at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, or her golds in downhill and super-G at the 2009 worlds in Val d’Isere.
