Vonn earns 50th victory

Lindsey Vonn of Vail, Colo., earned her 50th World Cup victory Saturday, winning a downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on the demanding Kandahar course with temperatures plunging to 13 below zero.

"It's crazy. I am at a loss for words. I already cried with one of the TV crews and that is enough crying for the day," said Vonn, 27. "Fifty World Cup wins is a huge mark for me in my career and more than I even thought possible."

The only women ahead of Vonn on the all-time list for World Cup victories are Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria (62) and Vreni Schneider of Switzerland (55).

Egypt officials resign

The president of Egypt's soccer federation and his board of directors resigned, having already been fired by the country's prime minister after Wednesday's riot at a match that left more than 70 dead.

Samir Zaher, Egyptian Football Association president, and his board said in a statement they had "collectively resigned."

They were fired by Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri a day after the deadly stadium clashes in a move that could have been viewed as government interference, which is not allowed by FIFA, soccer's international governing body.
