Lindsey Vonn of the United States has won a World Cup Super-G to regain the lead in the discipline with one race remaining.

Vonn is chasing her fifth Super-G World Cup title and stretched her record with a 23rd race win in the event.

The American put together a winning time of 1 minute, 16.65 seconds in sunny conditions.

Overall World Cup leader Tina Maze of Slovenia was .20 seconds behind and Anna Fenninger of Austria was .36 back in third.

Vonn's 65th career win, another record, gave her an eight-point lead over Fenninger in the Super-G standings.

The last race in the event is at the World Cup finals in Meribel, France, later this month.

Vonn could equal Katja Seizinger's record of five Super-G titles.
