history in the making. :D

BORMIO, Italy -- Lindsey Vonn completed the first American sweep of men's and women's ski titles in 25 years by winning the overall World Cup.

Bode Miller won his second overall title Thursday with a 12th-place finish in the super-G combined with Didier Cuche's announcement that he would not enter Saturday's season-ending slalom.



The last Americans to win both titles together were Phil Mahre and Tamara McKinney in 1983.

Vonn, who changed her last name from Kildow when she married former U.S. racer Thomas Vonn, became the second American woman to win the overall. She had already captured the season's downhill title.
