Lindsey Vonn misses podium in super-G; Bend's Ross finishes in 15th place

Vonn finished tied for sixth place. Laurenne Ross, from Bend, finished in 15th place, 1.06 seconds behind Ledecka.

Ester Ledecka of the Czech Republic has made a stunning run from back in the pack to take the Olympic super-G title, with a mistake costing Lindsey Vonn a spot on the podium.

Ledecka was the 26th racer to take the course. The 22-year-old blazed through the course in a time of 1 minute, 21.11 seconds. Defending champion Anna Veith of Austria earned the silver, finishing 0.01 seconds back, and Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein captured bronze.

Ledecka's run shocked everyone, including her. She turned to someone and said, "How did that happen?"

Vonn had a fast run before going too wide on a turn near the bottom. She finished tied for the sixth place, 0.38 seconds behind Ledecka.

Laurenne Ross, from Bend, finished in 15th place, 1.06 seconds behind Ledecka.

Vonn will compete in the downhill later this Olympics.
