‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Broke Box Office Records Last Night
While spoilers will not be given out, the film was full of surprises while paying homage to both trilogies that came before it. Greenfield said the success of “Force Awakens” would not be enough to offset the impact of subscriber losses at ESPN.
The 27-year-old finished 14th in place, 2.23 seconds behind Vonn in the Super-G. Tamara Tippler, of Austria, finished 1.32 seconds back for second. “But that’s the thing with skiing – no matter my injuries or my mental state or personal life – I can always come back to skiing, and it always makes me happy”.
House Approves .1 Trillion Spending Bill
The deal marks a major achievement for new Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who delivered 150 Republican votes for the spending bill. Under a plan worked out in bipartisan negotiations, the legislation would be combined and voted on in the Senate the same day.
Austria’s Ramona Siebenhofer was also running fast skis and entered the homestretch of Easy Street with an early lead on the day, but she launched the final jump in view of the finish line off balance and crashed through the turning gate below.
DNC Sanctions Sanders Campaign For Accessing Clinton’s Voter Data
Bernie Sanders has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to regain access to a Democratic National Committee voter database. We will continue to work with and report to the DNC regarding this issue to ensure that this isolated incident does not recur.
“A bit mediocre for me today”, the 27-year-old said.
“I’ve actually skied a lot more super-G than I have downhill in this preparation period”, Vonn said.
Vonn shaved seven hundredths of a second off her winning time from Friday as she stopped the clock at one minute and 50.43 seconds to triumph by a significant margin. This was the third time that she swept the weekend of racing in the Canadian Rockies, not to mention that she has scored 18 of her victories there.
It also marked her 25th career super-G World Cup win, which is the most in history by anyone, male or female.
Second-place finisher Suter weighed retirement after failing to reach the podium in the 2014-15 season.
Following Vonn were two of her strongest rivals in the World Cup, Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein and Lara Gut of Switzerland.
Midway through her run, Vonn caught an edge that sent her left ski wide. “I feel like no matter what is thrown at me on this hill, I know how to recover and rebound and somehow still carry enough speed to the bottom to win”. “But it’s just not something I really want to focus on…The more you think about it, the farther you are from breaking it”.
“I’m really lucky I get to race World Cups already”, said Grenier, 19. Vonn learned another as she avoided a crash Friday.

“I don’t get to train downhills that much so even races count as training for me”. The Swiss skier had been ranked in the top seven in both super G and downhill in 2010 and in super G from 2008-2010 and 2012-2013.
