Lindsay Vonn has won the latest round of FIS World Cup skiing by a wide margin. Vonn stayed focused despite her personal life (Lindsay and her husband of 4 years, Thomas Vonn, recently filed for divorce) to win by the biggest margin in her career. Nearly 2 seconds separated her from second place, Tina Wierather in Super G competition.
Vonn became a household name when she skied the 2010 Vancouver Olympics on a bruised shin. She won Gold in the Downhill and Bronze in the Super G. Some may know her from the bikini photo-shoot she did for Sports Illustrated Magazine.
