"I really didn't feel comfortable. I never really got into it," she said. "It's difficult when you come at (the course) for the first time. It's pretty hard to get the beginning of the turns. "You want a difficult course for a championship and it was one of the most difficult we have ever had. We are in the shadow for the whole time and the men are in the sunshine. I hope the visibility is better."

Lindsey Vonn of the U.S. skis on her way to clocking the fastest time in the women's Super G race at the Alpine Skiing World Championships in the French resort of Val d'Isere February 3, 2009

Renate Goetschl, the Austrian who is third all-time with 46 World Cup wins, missed a gate after getting rocked around by some bumps on the upper section. Julia Mancuso of the United States fell on her hip near the top, slid downhill for about 100 meters, then got up and appeared uninjured. "I just fell down. I just went a little bit straight," Mancuso said. "My game plan today was all or nothing. It's pretty difficult the first couple of gates and I should have given myself a little more room."

Mancuso was impressed with Vonn's run.

"I think she skied a little conservative and it was pretty surprising that she was ahead at the end," Mancuso said. "She made up a lot of time on the bottom."
