LAKE LOUISE, ALBERTA, Canada (TheSportsNEXT) December 3, 2012: Lindsey Vonn of United States remained the woman to beat at the Canadian resort of Lake Louise in Alberta on Sunday as she clean-swept the three-race downhill world cup, Super-G.

This is the second year on trot for Lindsey Vonn to win the three-race Super-G downhill world cup in an astounding fashion.

Lindsey Vonn completed the race in a minute and 22.82 seconds to record her seventh straight victory at her favorite venue which was also her 14^th victory at Lake Louise.

This was 56^th career victory for Lindsey Vonn who is now the second most successful skier ever in the history of competition as Annemarie Moser-Proell of Australia lead the list of the most successful skiers in the world with 62 titles to her name.

Julia Mancuso of United States finished second with only 0.43 seconds difference and Stacey Cook who stood second in the Friday and Saturday races failed to end in the top three with Anna Fenninger of Austria finishing third with only 0.02 seconds separating the second and third position holders.

Despite of an all-round performance by Lindsey Vonn, it is Tina Maize of Slovenia who retained the overall World Cup lead by finishing a solid fourth, just 0.62 seconds away from the top position getter.

Tina Maize has 397 points, followed by Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany with 319 points and Lindsey Vonn of United States with 300 points.

The World Cup will resume next weekend in Europe with a giant slalom and two Super-Gs to be staged in St Moritz.
