Lara Gut won the Super-G race in Garmisch to strengthen her second place in the World Cup

Vonn had picked up the 76th win of her career in winning Saturday's downhill with a commanding display down the Kandahar to finish a second and a half ahead of her nearest rival.

But 24 hours later she had to make do with a podium place, 0.23sec behind Gut's winning time of 1min 20.51sec while Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg was second at 0.15sec back.

It was the 124th time Vonn has finished on the podium of a World Cup race.

The result keeps Vonn top of the overall leaderboard with 1,060 points, Gut second on 973 and Rebensburg third on 820.

Vonn's downhill victory on Saturday left her just ten wins short of the all-time record of 86 World Cup victories set by Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden more than 25 years ago.
