globeandmail.com: Austrian teen earns top dollar
Austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer, 19, was skiing's top money winner with $465,000 gathered in his 13 World Cup victories this past season. Schlierenzauer, deaf since birth in his left ear, has amassed an improbable record of 24 World Cup wins and 41 podiums despite his youth. American Lindsey Vonn, 24, won the women's overall World Cup title in alpine skiing and won $416,000. She is the most successful U.S. alpine skier in history with 22 wins in World Cup events.
