Vonn, who stood fourth after the opening leg of super G, skied out in the slalom portion and dropped to fourth in the overall standings. Julia Mancuso posted the top U.S. finish with 11th and Laurenne Ross was 25th. Women's racing continues Saturday at the Swiss resort with super G followed by giant slalom on Sunday.

QUOTES
Alex Hoedlmoser, Head Coach
The light was incredibly tough, but Lindsey and Julia had pretty good super G runs even with a few mistakes. I expected more from Leanne and Laurenne. They didn't ski up to the edge and then it's hard in the slalom portion.

We'll have to look at where we can improve for tomorrow and then get our atheltes fired up for another super G. There is some snow coming in now, but hopefully it will clear out by the morning and we can have a fiar race.
