• U.S. wins gold at bobsled worlds: Steven Holcomb and brakeman Steve Langton won the two-man bobsled Sunday in Lake Placid, N.Y., the first time the U.S. captured this event at the world championships. Three years ago, Holcomb won the two-man bronze and four-man gold at worlds in Lake Placid on his home track at Mount Van Hoevenberg. This time, he surged past first-day leader Lyndon Rush of Canada with a near-flawless third run. Holcomb had a four-run time over two days of 3 minutes, 42.88 seconds. He was 0.46 seconds ahead of Rush and brakeman Jesse Lumsden.

• Hirscher wins World Cup slalom: Marcel Hirscher won his second race in two days on the Banderitsa course in Bulgaria, taking a World Cup slalom Sunday ahead of fellow Austrian Mario Matt. Hirscher led after the first run and finished in 58.06 seconds in the afternoon to win in a combined time of 1 minute, 52.64 seconds. Matt was 0.16 seconds behind, while Andre Myhrer of Sweden was 0.57 seconds back in third. Hirscher is now just 18 points behind leader Ivica Kostelic in the overall standings, with the Croatian sidelined with a knee injury. The top U.S. skiers were Nolan Kasper (sixth) and Ted Ligety (seventh).

• Vonn clinches super-combi title: Lindsey Vonn clinched her third straight super-combined title Sunday after the final race in the discipline this season was canceled due to heavy snowfall on the Sochi 2014 Olympics course in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. A day earlier the American clinched her fifth consecutive World Cup downhill title. The International Ski Federation had initially said the race might be rescheduled for Are, Sweden, next month, but then scrapped that idea. With just two super-combi races completed this season, Vonn took the title with 180 points, 55 points ahead of Slovenia’s Tina Maze and 60 points in front of Austria’s Nicole Hosp.
