Lauren Macuga got her first World Cup win in a super-G while U.S. teammate Lindsey Vonn impressed again in fourth place.
Maybe now sponsors will catch up with a racer from what shapes to soon be the first family of the extended United States ski team.
Vonn, in the third race of her comeback at age 40, trailed Macuga by 1.24 yet no one was faster down the steep middle section of the course. A half-hour earlier, Macuga had crossed the line and seeing her race-leading time put her right hand to her open mouth, waved both arms in the air and shrieked"Oh my God!"
Vonn had skied at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics in Macuga's home state Utah five months before the U.S. team's new star was even born - on the fourth of July.
