U.S. star Lindsey Vonn skied to her fourth straight super-G victory Sunday, beating Switzerland’s Fabienne Suter by just over half a second at Bansko, Bulgaria.


Vonn, the overall World Cup leader, had clinched her second straight downhill title Saturday and is now within 15 points of Suter, who leads the race for the super-G season championship.


With six races to go on the cup circuit, Vonn has a 391-point lead over Maria Riesch of Germany in her bid to win the overall championship for a second straight year.


Vonn, a native of St. Paul, Minn., who now skis out of Vail, Colo., was clocked in 1:14.49, followed by Suter and Slovenian Tina Maze.


I really wanted to have a win here in Bansko, Vonn said. Really, the fans have been incredible and today was a great end to the weekend.
