Italy's Laura Pirovano won her second consecutive World Cup downhill race on Saturday in Val di Fassa, beating Austria's Cornelia Huetter by 0.01 seconds and taking the lead in the discipline standings from injured American Lindsey Vonn. The 28-year-old Italian's victory on home snow came after her first career win the previous day. Vonn, sidelined by a leg injury from last month's Olympics, saw her points total of 400 hold but no longer sufficient for the top spot.
