( CNN ) -- Lindsey Vonn completed a hat-trick of World Cup victories in the space of three days at Haus Im Ennstal in Austria as she claimed Sunday 's super-G in fine style . The American skier powered down the Krummholz course in one minute 26.69 seconds to beat Swede Anja Paerson by over half a second . Nadia Fanchini of Italy and Martina Schild of Switzerland were tied for third place . Vonn 's super-G success followed victories on Friday and Saturday in downhill races and showed she has fully recovered from the arm injury she sustained in a giant slalom event last month . She is the first female racer to win on three straight days since Germany 's Katja Seizinger in 1997 and it was her 28th World Cup win . Vonn , from Minnesota , is also the first skier from the United States to achieve this feat . To cap a superb week for the 26-year-old , she extends her overall World Cup lead to 192 points over Maria Riesch of Germany and is well-placed to retain the title . Vonn told her official Web site www.lindseyvonn.com that her hat-trick of World Cup victories was one of the major achievements of her career . `` Today was difficult because I put a bit of extra pressure on myself , '' she admitted . `` But right now I 'm on cloud nine , it could n't get much better than this , '' she added . Vonn will go into the Vancouver Olympics next February as a warm favorite in the speed events of downhill and super-G as she bids for a first Olympic medal of any color . In men 's World Cup slalom action on Sunday , an incredible second run by Julien Lizeroux of France gave him victory at Adelboden in Switzerland . Lizeroux came from 12th after the first run to win with a combined time of one minute 51.88 seconds . Austria 's Marcel Hirscher finished second with Croatia 's Ivica Kostelic in third . Austrian Benjamin Raich stretched his lead in the overall standings after claiming fourth . He has 62 points more than Switzerland 's Carlo Janka , who skied out on the first leg in front of his home fans .
