Vonn makes more history in super-G

Lindsey Vonn won the super-G season finale at the World Cup finals Thursday at Are, Sweden, becoming the first American woman to capture the championship title in the discipline.

Vonn earned her third crystal globe this season, tying the U.S. record set by Phil Mahre in 1982.

The 24-year-old Vonn finished the Olympia course in 1 minute 20.63 seconds. A day earlier, she clinched the World Cup overall title for the second straight year by winning downhill.

Nadia Fanchini of Italy finished runner-up in 1:20.71 and was second in the final super-G standings.

This was Vonn’s ninth World Cup win this winter, setting another U.S. record for the most World Cup wins in one season -- male or female.

She leads all American women with two overall titles, 22 career wins and 47 podium finishes. Her consecutive downhill titles matched Picabo Street in 1995-96.

JURISPRUDENCE

Haynesworth indicted for crash

Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has been indicted in Nashville on two misdemeanor traffic charges after a crash that seriously injured another driver.

District Attorney Kim Helper of Williamson County said that Haynesworth was indicted Monday on charges of reckless driving and having expired registration.

Haynesworth, a former Tennessee Titan who signed a seven-year, $100-million contract with the Redskins last month, was released on $1,000 bond after surrendering Wednesday. Maximum punishment is six months in jail and a $500 fine on the reckless driving charge and 30 days in jail and a $50 fine for the other charge.

The charges come from a Dec. 13 incident in which Haynesworth tried to pass another driver, who crashed into a concrete median.
