ST. ANTON, Austria >> Breakout star Lauren Macuga and comeback queen Lindsey Vonn made it a classic Sunday for the United States ski team.

Macuga’s first World Cup race win — in a super-G where the 40-year-old Vonn impressed again in fourth — was no surprise to ski watchers who saw the 22-year-old Utah racer’s fast-improving results.

Maybe now sponsors will catch up with a racer from what shapes to soon be the first family of the extended U.S. ski team.

Macuga raced with speed and style Sunday wearing a helmet that has a question mark on the front where a sponsor’s brand could be.

The American was almost flawless on a course that caught out veterans like Federica Brignone and Lara Gut-Behrami, who made errors and knew crossing the finish line their times would not hold up.

Macuga won by 0.68 seconds — a huge winning margin in super-G — ahead of Stephanie Venier of Austria, with Brignone 0.92 back in third. Olympic champion Gut-Behrami was 1.26 back in fifth.

“I can’t believe it, it’s so exciting,” Macuga said. “I don’t even think the nerves have settled in. I’m just waiting for it to hit me.”

Vonn, in the third race of her surprise comeback season, trailed Macuga by 1.24 yet no one was faster down the steep middle section of the course.

“It was a crazy run today,” Vonn said.

“I’m also really proud of my teammate Lauren. It’s really nice to be part of such a fun team. It’s great to see another American on top of the podium.”

Macuga stood course-side punching the air to salute her storied teammate’s run. Vonn smiled broadly and held her arms out wide as the racecourse commentator praised her “unbelievable” run.

A half-hour earlier, Macuga had crossed the line and seeing her race-leading time put her right hand to her open mouth, waved both arms in the air and shrieked “Oh my God!”

Macuga was installed in the leader’s box to watch Vonn.

Macuga is in her third full season on the World Cup tour and had six top-10 finishes before Sunday, including fourth in a downhill last month at Beaver Creek.

The debut World Cup win came in Lauren Macuga’s 30th start while Sunday was Vonn’s 396th on the circuit.

Odermatt wins again

ADELBODEN, Switzerland >> Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt is almost unbeatable in World Cup giant slaloms — and especially at his home classic race.

Odermatt skied at his limit in the second run Sunday to rise from third place and win at Adelboden for the fourth straight year.

It was the 15th straight World Cup giant slalom since February 2023 that Odermatt has won when he completed the race. He skied out in three others.
