American speed queen Lindsey Vonn posted the 10th fastest time in the first training run on Thursday ahead of opening her injury-hit World Cup season in the downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Vonn, returning after injuring her knee last November, posted 1min 38.46sec down the Olympia delle Tofane course -- 0.76sec behind Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel who posted the fastest time of 1min 37.7sec.
