2017 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's downhill
Alpine ski discipline year standings / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The women's downhill in the 2017 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved eight events, including the season finale in Aspen, Colorado (USA). Defending champion (and eight-time discipline champion) Lindsey Vonn of the USA was injured during the first half of the season, leaving the championship race wide open. However, Slovenian skier Ilka Štuhec won the first three downhills of the season and ended up carrying a 97-point lead into the finals, meaning that all she needed was either to finish in the top 15 herself or for rising Italian skier Sofia Goggia, who was in second, not to win. As it turned out, Štuhec won the final herself, clinching the discipline title.[1]
