(Reuters) - Champion skier Lindsey Vonn has set her sights on breaking Ingemar Stenmark's all-time mark for World Cup victories even as her career winds down to a close.

"I definitely think I can (break Stenmark's record)," Vonn told reporters on Thursday at the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Gold Medal Gala in New York.
