Lara Gut-Behrami is back! With her victory in the Super-G at Garmisch, the third in a row in this discipline, the Swiss woman has finally proven that she is back on the absolute top of the world.
For Gut-Behrami it is the 29th World Cup victory, the 15th in the Super-G and the third this season. In the Super G World Cup, the 29-year-old is now 140 points ahead of Corinne Suter and 149 points ahead of Ester Ledecka.
In the World Cup overall she is close to leader Petra Vlhova, who finished 10th on Saturday, up to 62 points. Gut-Behrami outscores compatriot Michelle Gisin, who skips the Garmisch weekend despite the prospect of her first big crystal ball. Gut-Behrami and her compatriot Gisin, as well as the two Italians Sofia Goggia and Marta Bassino, are now provoking the three-way battle between Mikaela Shiffrin, Petra Vlhova and Federica Brignone, which many had predicted before the season.

“A few months ago I was asked if I could win races, and now people are talking about the World Cup. It just shows how fast everything in sport can go,” Gut-Behrami says on ORF -Interview. “It is important for me to be able to drive regularly so fast and enjoy it.”
Gut-Behrami: “The feeling was anything but good”
The 29-year-old from Ticino, who previously won at St. Anton and Crans-Montana, prevailed on Saturday in the first of two races at Garmisch-Partenkirchen ahead of Norway’s Kajsa Vickhoff Lie and Canadian Marie-Michele Gagnon . Gut-Behrami clearly wins 0.68 seconds ahead of Lie, the surprising third Gagnon 0.93 seconds behind.
“It wasn’t that easy to ski, it felt greasy. The feeling was anything but good. I just tried to let the ski run and ski a pretty narrow line,” Gut-Behrami said.
On Sunday there will be another Super-G at Garmisch (11.00 am on the LIVE ticker), in which Gut-Behrami is the top seed.
