CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Swiss skier Malorie Blanc won the last women’s World Cup race before the Milan Cortina Olympics on Saturday with Lindsey Vonn sitting out the super-G a day after hurting her left knee in a downhill crash.
The result gave the event in Crans-Montana, toned down after the fatal fire in a bar, a fitting winner with Blanc being from nearby Ayent, which is a 20-minute drive away.
