SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Austrian skier Stephanie Venier has won the women's super-G at the Alpine skiing world championships in Austria. Federica Brignone of Italy finished 0.10 seconds behind to take silver. Lauren Macuga of the United States and Kajsa Vickhoff Lie of Norway were 0.24 off the lead and both earned bronze. Lindsey Vonn hooked a gate with her right arm early in her run and did not finish in her first appearance at the worlds in six years. She avoided falling and was able to stop but then grasped her arm in apparent pain.
