Sofia Goggia used what she called her best ever downhill run to lead an Italian sweep of the podium at a women’s World Cup race on Sunday.

Racing from a lowered start due to fog in the upper part of the hill Baker Mayfield Jersey Youth , Goggia sped down the bumpy Karnten-Franz Klammer course in gutsy style, beating the field by more than a second.

”I have never skied so strong and consistent in my whole life in a downhill,” said the Italian after landing her third career victory. Last year, Goggia won both test events on the hill for the Pyeongchang Olympics.

”The snow I found here was exactly the same as in South Korea,” said Goggia, who timed 1 minute, 4.00 seconds to beat Federica Brignone by 1.10 and Nadia Fanchini by 1.35.

”I am super happy for the podium because it’s kind of an Italian party,” she said, adding that her thoughts were with teammate Elena Fanchini. Nadia’s older sister had to end her season to get treatment for a tumor.

”The victory is for me, for Elena, for Italy. We always have Elena in our thoughts,” Goggia said.

Tiffany Gauthier of France missed the podium by 0.14 to finish fourth for a second straight day, matching her career best result.

Avoiding the risk of getting injured a month before the Olympics, American standout Lindsey Vonn held back throughout in a cautious run and was more than three seconds off the lead in 27th.

Due to poor snow conditions, the mandatory training run before a downhill was canceled in the last few days and was held on Sunday morning, two hours before the race.

It was the first time in the 51-year-history of the World Cup that the Italian team took the top three spots in a women’s downhill.

The result came one day after Brignone won a super-G on the same hill. She also won a giant slalom in Lienz two weeks ago.

”I love Austrian slopes. Most of the time there are difficult conditions. I like it when it’s icy and bumpy Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey 49ers ,” said Brignone, who briefly considered skipping the season because of a persistent groin problem.

”We didn’t understand what it was,” she said. ”We tried different things. It’s not healed but for now it’s under control.”

Recovered from breaking an arm and hurting her spine in a crash a year ago, Fanchini got her first podium since winning in La Thuile, Italy, in 2016, which was her second win in an injury-marred career. She also placed fifth in the super-G.

Goggia praised Fanchini because ”she has suffered so much during her career with all the injuries but she never gave up. Sometimes a fifth or third place means more than a victory.”

Through Brignone as translator, Fanchini said she never thought she would ”come back so strong” from the injury.

”Emotionally it was a tough moment for my family,” she said, referring to Elena’s illness. ”Finishing third and fifth here, that is a dream.”

In sharp contrast to the aggressive runs by the Italians, Vonn had a disappointing showing.

”I really had no grip on the ice, felt like I was skiing on marbles,” said the American, who placed ninth in Saturday’s super-G. ”This course takes a lot of aggression and like really willing to risk everything. And I am just not willing to risk everything right now. I have been waiting eight years for the Olympics.”

Vonn added she was ”not necessarily disappointed in my result as it doesn’t matter right now. What matters is that I am healthy and that I didn’t end my season this weekend. Otherwise, you know Colts Nyheim Hines Jersey , let’s just forget about the whole weekend.”

The women’s World Cup continues with more speed races in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, next weekend.

Mostly unwatchable for several seasons, the Cleveland Browns could become a summer TV sensation.

HBO's banking on it.

"It's an underdog story," said network executive Peter Nelson. "And people love rooting for underdogs."

Despite the Browns' 0-16 record last season and dismal decades of futility for one of the league's signature franchises, NFL Films insists the Browns are the team it wanted to feature most on "Hard Knocks," the award-winning documentary series that takes fans behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the grind 鈥?and the drama 鈥?of training camp.

"We got the team we wanted," said Ken Rodgers, NFL Films VP senior coordinating producer, "our No. 1 pick, the Browns, to be on our show. We think it's the right time with the right team."

Rodgers said the Browns were appealing on so many levels, but mostly because of their comeback story 鈥?the climb to being competitive again 鈥?is universal and strikes a chord with any sports fan.

"We tell our kids that it's not about how you get knocked down, it's about how you get back up and this is a unique situation, having such turnover on the roster, of starting anew Hayden Hurst Jersey Elite , with some old pieces, with some valuable new pieces, that we just felt will speak to a lot of fans," he said.

"What we generally think of when we select a team is, who would the national audience be interested in finding out what's going on, what's going on with the team? And nationally now, the Browns are a big story, rightfully so."

Cleveland had one of the busiest offseasons of any team. The Browns traded for quarterback Tyrod Taylor and Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry before selecting Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick in the draft. Mayfield's arrival has energized Cleveland's fan base and created a national buzz about the Browns.

NFL Films is certain to train its cameras on the colorful Mayfield, whose on-field antics at Oklahoma earned him a bad-boy reputation.

During his opening remarks, Rodgers said he wanted to "address the elephant in the room" and seemed to be implying Mayfield.

"I think a lot of people will be asking how much a certain someone will be featured," he said, "and this position on a football team demands a lot of attention, and it has always been that way for "Hard Knocks." So, yes, we definitely will be featuring head coach Hue Jackson."

Cleveland's third-year coach previously appeared on "Hard Knocks" when he was on Cincinnati's staff in 2013. Jackson enjoyed the experience and said he's not worried about the added camera crews and attention around camp affecting the QB battle between Taylor and Mayfield.

"It's a competition anyway," he said. "Tyrod's our starting quarterback. Baker's our No. 1 pick. He's our quarterback of the future. I've said that since this happened. I don't think that will change. I want those guys to be exposed for what they do Authentic Sylvester Williams Jersey , because I think our fans want to know them and what makes the tick. But at the same time, I don't think it should put any more pressure on what we need to do as a football team about who's playing quarterback for us."

Jackson plans to speak to his team about appearing on the show. He doesn't want anything to alter their focus in camp, and he's confident the Browns' leaders will make sure players don't play up to the cameras.

Running back Duke Johnson fears some of his teammates may see the show as an opportunity for publicity.

"I hope it doesn't really change much, but it's easy to say that now 鈥?there's no cameras here," he said following practice. "I hope we don't have a lot of guys that turn into actors and try to be all Hollywood. If Hollywood is what you want to do after football, go for it."

Jackson made it clear he doesn't want HBO's cameras around next week when he makes good on his promise and jumps into Lake Erie.

"No, please, no," he said.

NOTES: Johnson said he's "very optimistic" that he'll work out a contract extension with the team. He's in the final year of his rookie deal. "It's going well," he said. "It's not going bad. This is kind of my first contract negotiation. I'm not sure the timetable of when it's supposed to be done, when it should be done, so we're taking it one day at a time." Johnson led the team in catches (74) and yards receiving (693) last season.
