After her fabulous ride on the “Corviglia” slope, Lindsey Vonn slipped. Lying in the snow in the finish area, the American only noticed that she had pulverized her previous best time in the downhill run from St. Moritz. Vonn stood up and let out a whoop of joy before folding her hands and placing them next to her ear. “Night, night,” she seemed to want to say. One can interpret the gesture, which is common in US sports, as a message to her critics, which puts her into the realm of dreams with her journey to her 83rd victory in the World Cup.
