• 22-year-old is from a successful skiing family
• Vonn continues to thrive in comeback at age of 40

Lauren Macuga’s first World Cup race win – in a super-G where Lindsey Vonn impressed again in fourth – was no surprise to those who saw the 22-year-old American’s fast-improving results.

Macuga was almost flawless on a course that caught out veterans like Federica Brignone and Lara Gut-Behrami, who made errors and knew crossing the finish line that their times would not hold up.
