WOMEN'S WORLD CUP ALPINE SKIING IN SOUTH KOREA - LIVE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT 9 P.M. ET ON NBCSN

Still recovering from last year's training crash that left her right arm broken, Lindsey Vonn is slated to compete in the downhill and super-G this weekend. Vonn claimed bronze in the downhill during last month's FIS World Alpine Ski Championships and captured her 77th career World Cup victory in January. Currently Vonn sits nine shy of Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark, who holds the all-time World Cup record with 86 race wins on the men's circuit. Mikaela Shiffrin, who is not competing this weekend, won her first World Cup super combined event last week in Switzerland, leads the overall standings, and could become just the fifth American to win an overall World Cup title later this season.

Steve Schlanger (play-by-play) and former World Cup ski racer Steve Porino (analyst) call this weekend's event.
