Zany Italian Sofia Goggia denied Lindsey Vonn the chance to reclaim the Olympic downhill gold with a winning run that perfectly mixed aggression and control in the marquee event of women's Alpine skiing at the Pyeongchang Games on Wednesday.

The bubbly 25-year-old from Bergamo clocked one minute, 39.22 seconds to take gold nine hundredths of a second ahead of Ragnhild Mowinckel, whose time of 1:39.31 won her a second silver after her second place in giant slalom last week.
