BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) – Two races, one medal for Lindsey Vonn. Not gold, either, but bronze.

This wasn’t exactly the start the skier from nearby Vail was hoping for at the world championships in front of a home crowd.

But there are still events left for Vonn. She announced after her fifth-place finish in the downhill Friday that she was going to compete in the giant slalom and the Alpine combined, an even that combines the times one run of downhill and one of slalom. Never mind she hasn’t been in a slalom race in years, she’s going to give it a go.

Nothing to lose.

“Although my chances of doing something there are slim, I will definitely be giving 110 percent effort,” the 30-year-old Vonn said. “Hopefully, make a miracle happen.”
