Lara Gut-Behrami wins the first race after the World Championships in Val di Fassa. Corinne Suter also takes the podium.
The podium
- 1. Lara Gut-Behrami (SUI) 1: 23.93 minutes
- 2. Ramona Siebenhofer (AUT) +0.02 seconds
- 3. Corinne Suter (SUI) +0.26
After the World Cup is before the final outbreak of the World Cup: a few days after the competitions in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the World Cup stopped in Val di Fassa for the first time. And Lara Gut-Behrami also showed her good form in Trentino.
Although she was still behind in the last half time, the Ticino woman managed to beat Ramona Siebenhofer. Gut-Behrami was 2 hundredths of a second faster, in the blink of an eye.
With the 31st victory of her career at the World Cup, the Swiss woman takes the lead in the World Cup overall. In the battle for the great crystal ball, which she won once in 2016, her lead over Petra Vlhova is 29 points with 10 runs still pending.
But the positive news from the Swiss perspective does not end there. Corinne Suter has also got on very well with the track, which hardly forgives mistakes. With a difference of 26 hundredths, the woman from Schwyz completed the podium in third place. Suter closes the gap with the injured Italian Sofia Goggia in the downhill world championship, like Breezy Johnson to 150 points.
The other Swiss women
- 9. Michelle Gisin +1.12
- 14. Jasmine Flury +1.33
- 18. Joana Hählen +1.62
- 20. Priska Nufer +1.67
- 29. Jasmina Suter +2.18
- 32. Rahel Kopp +2.39
- 33. Katja Grossmann +2.50
- 43. Delia Durrer +4.03
Michelle Gisin was another Swiss ski athlete who placed in the top 10. She placed ninth ex-aequo with Vlhova. After a quick start, Engelberg’s wife lost time after a failed line pick in the middle section of the route.
Jasmine Flury, Joana Hählen and Priska Nufer, who were among the 20 fastest drivers, completed the Swiss team’s pleasant result in high temperatures.
So it goes
For women, there will be more speed races in Val di Fassa at the weekend. On Saturday (starting at 11:00 am) there is another descent in the program, on Sunday (starting at 11:00 am) a Super-G follows.
