Wins a 3rd straight World Cup title and another Super G win. 2-time
gold medalist Maria Riesch was left in the dust, winless to end the
season.

So once again which would you rather have? The winningest American
woman in alpine skiing history, with 3 straight World Cup titles & 1
gold medal

or

someone with 1/3 as many WC race wins, 0 World Cup overall titles but
2 gold medals?

Only fools would pick Riesch.

What is a "World Cup"?
Something like the U.S. Hardcourt Series?

If you don't know what it is, you have no business commenting on
professional alpine skiing.

Funny, that this "ski world cup" never was a topic here in rst.
But the Olympic events were.

You are a poor american chauvinist.

If you were an alpine skiing expert you would have at least
also mentioned... Carlo Janka
but you probably never heard of this 'non american'...

i don't know much about alpine ski circuit, but i'll take those 2
golds. although vonn's gold in the premier event isn't far off.
