Lindsey Vonn posted her seventh win of the season in a World Cup super-G Friday, skiing nearly perfectly from top to bottom and reclaiming the lead in the overall standings.

The American was coming off a run of three technical races in which she failed to gain a single point. Now, with 13 races still remaining this season, she’s in a position to break her mark of nine victories a year ago.

“Speed keeps me happy. Even after a bad week in Maribor and Flachau, the speed skiing gives me confidence,” Vonn said. “I feel like I know what I have to do now. I come out of the starting gate knowing how hard I have to ski.”

Vonn sped down the twisting Olympia delle Tofane course in 1 minute, 21.74 seconds. Fabienne Suter of Switzerland finished second, 0.67 seconds behind, and Anja Paerson of Sweden was third, 0.74 back.

Paerson skied before Vonn and Suter and posted the fastest run to that point. Still, the five-time Olympic medalist was shaking her head in frustration at the finish, realizing it wouldn’t be enough to beat Vonn.

“I was really hungry for it today and I get very frustrated when I don’t win,” Paerson said. “I expect a lot from myself.”
