Apologizing for a gaffe on social media, Lindsey Vonn had little to celebrate after clinching a record 20th World Cup crystal globe title and surpassing Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark on Saturday in La Thuile, Italy. A day earlier, Vonn posted a video of an angry outburst in which she destroyed her bindings with a hammer following a race where one ski detached. After erasing the post from her Facebook page, Vonn spent the night drafting an apology to Head, the maker of her skis and one of her sponsors. ‘‘I made a mistake and everyone does that. I am human. I had a lot of emotions yesterday and I should have just done boxing with my trainer,’’ Vonn said after bouncing back to finish second Saturday and wrap up the season-long downhill championship. Nadia Fanchini of Italy won with a 0.14-second margin ahead of Vonn in a race shortened by strong winds. With only one more downhill this season, Vonn extended her lead to an insurmountable 173 points ahead of Larisa Yurkiw of Canada. It’s Vonn’s record eighth downhill title — adding to four overall globes plus five in super-G and three in combined. Sweden’s Stenmark held the previous record established from 1975-84. Vonn also reclaimed the overall lead from Lara Gut, who finished 11th . . . Italian Dominik Paris mastered tricky conditions at the French Alpine resort of Chamonix to win a men’s World Cup downhill race ahead of American Steven Nyman . . . Satoko Miyahara of Japan dominated the women’s free skate to win the Four Continents title in Taipei, Taiwan.
