Vonn won two silvers at the last worlds in Are, Sweden, two years ago but had never won gold at a worlds or Olympics. She has now won three races in five days, having taken a World Cup slalom and super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, over the weekend - tying Tamara McKinney's American women's record of 18 career victories.

Last season, Vonn became the first American woman to win the overall World Cup title in 25 years - since McKinney in 1983 - and she also leads the overall standings this season.

The race marked the first official competition on the new Rhone-Alpes course, which starts above the tree line with skiers approaching 100 kilometers per hour, then delves down into a forest with a series of curves before a steep descent into the finish. Several skiers fell or missed gates on the highly technical track.

The men's super-G is scheduled today on the Bellevarde course. The two tracks face each other and funnel into the same finish area.

Paerson attributed her struggles to the course and light.
