Riesch, Vonn hug


Germany's Maria Riesch, left, hugs Lindsey Vonn, of the United States, after winning the alpine ski, women's World Cup overall title, at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, Saturday, March 19, 2011. Lindsey Vonn feels "devastated" at losing her World Cup overall title on Saturday without being able to fight for it in the final race. The three-time defending champion was denied to chance to overhaul friend and rival Maria Riesch when the season-finale giant slalom was called off because of poor snow conditions. "Win or lose I just wanted the chance. I feel devastated," Vonn said in a statement published by the U.S. ski team. (AP Photo/Dominic Favre, Keystone)
