Goggia put Vonn’s advice into action as she finished in 1 minute, 3.90 seconds on an overcast and windy day. She held off Swiss racer Lara Gut-Behrami by 0.48 seconds, with Ariane Raedler of Austria storming through the course from bib No. 20 to capture third.

Italy's Sofia Goggia made a stirring return to competition as she won the women's super-G in Beaver Creek, Colorado on Sunday for her 25th World Cup victory in only her second race since breaking her right leg in February.

The weekend at Beaver Creek capped a remarkable return to competition for Goggia, who broke her tibia during a giant slalom training crash in Italy 10 months ago.
