A broken champagne bottle couldn't stop skier Lindsey Vonn from setting a record.
Vonn's success in a super-giant slalom Sunday was the 19th World Cup victory of her career, surpassing Tamara McKinney for the U.S. women's record. ...Vonn, a 24-year-old from Vail, Colo., is the defending World Cup overall champion and leads the standings this season.

Vonn set the record despite having surgery on a severed tendon...She sliced her thumb on a broken champagne bottle while celebrating a Feb. 9 downhill victory at the world championships in Val d'Isere, France...she was runner-up in a super-combi Friday and in a downhill Saturday...(She) competed Sunday with a splint on her right hand...

She's originally from Minnesota, married to a former pro ski racer, as cute as a button, and clearly has the moxie of a Marine battalion. If there isn't a photo of her using a bong, they'll be calling her "Tiger Woods on skis" before you know it!
