Lindsey Vonn has had quite a whirlwind day after winning a super-G, breaking a world record in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy and being completely surprised by her boyfriend, Tiger Woods.

"I didn't know he was here at the finish until I actually was done with my race," the skier told NBC reporters shortly after her huge win.

"My dad said, 'Hey, look, I found someone!' I mean, it was incredible. I hoped that he would come but you know he's in training, he's got a tournament coming up and I would have never expected him to show up. It meant a lot to me, you know."

Vonn couldn't help but gush about her beau, adding, "He's a catch. He's a good boyfriend."

And aside from Vonn's uber-successful ski, Woods had a pretty unfortunate accident during interviews with press.

The professional golfer actually lost his tooth after he was hit with a camera, but he appeared to be in good spirits despite the ordeal.

"During a crush of photographers at the awards' podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video camera pushed and surged towards the stage, turned and hit Tiger Woods in the mouth. Woods's tooth was knocked out by the incident," the golfer's agent, Mark Steinberg, said in a statement to NBC.
