The Super-G at the Arlberg is firmly in Swiss hands on Sunday: Lara Gut-Behrami triumphs, Corinne Suter comes third.
The podium
- 1. Lara Gut-Behrami (SUI) 1: 17.82 Minuten
- 2. Marta Bassino (ITA) +0.16 Sekunden
- 3. Corinne Suter (SUI) +0.20
Dissatisfied, Lara Gut-Behrami threw her hands away at the end, even though the weather was lit green. The problem was due to a nasty mistake before the final part when the Ticino woman almost buzzed through a door. At the last moment she took the corner and even increased her lead over Stephanie Venier (AUT) to 1.67 seconds.
However, all the pilots failed for the Gut-Behrami mark. The closest to her were the Italians Marta Bassino and Corinne Suter, who have always been on the podium in the last 4 Super-Gs. Ester Ledecka (CZE), who won the first race of the season in this discipline, had to settle for 6th place.
And Gut-Behrami was able to shine in both ears after their fight early on. After almost 3 years he won a Super-G for the first time, it is his 13th success in this discipline, the 27th in the general circus of the World Cup.
The other Swiss women
- 8. Michelle Gisin +1.48
- 9. Wendy Holdener +1.67
- 17. Rahel Kopp +2.18
- 21. Jasmine Flury, +2.49
- 28. Joana Hählen +3.34
- 33. Stephanie Jenal +3.58
- Removed: Priska Nufer and Jasmina Suter
The Swiss ski team made a strong comeback after Saturday’s disappointing downhill race. In addition to Gut-Behrami and Suter on the podium, Michelle Gisin and Wendy Holdener also increased significantly.
Brief appearance of Goggia
For top seed Sofia Goggia, the race ended after just 13 seconds. The Italian, who on Saturday beat the competition on the descent with her wild ride, this time the high risk was fatal. A blow on the slopes unbalanced her, so she was eliminated. The slope of the Arlberg is demanding: 10 of the first 30 runners did not finish the race, 2 were disqualified.
So it goes
On Tuesday the technicians will be on the Flachau (AUT) slalom mat. The next Super-G is scheduled for January 24 in Crans-Montana.
