Once the downhill race is canceled, the Super-G cannot take place in Lenzerheide either. For Lara Gut-Behrami, winning the great crystal ball is now impossible. Marco Odermatt also talks about a preliminary decision.
With two good sprinting results, Gut-Behrami could have put a lot of pressure on Petra Vlhova again. But due to bad weather, neither the descent nor the Super-G at the end of the season in Lenzerheide can take place. The FIS regulations do not allow postponements for another day.
So the Ticino woman only has the giant slalom to make up for the 96-point gap in the World Cup overall with the Slovakian woman. Even with a win, Vlhova would have to make a mistake on both the giant and the slalom for Gut-Behrami to still have a chance to get the big ball.
The Ticino woman can still pick up a crystal ball on Thursday. She won the Super G ranking perfectly weeks ago. It is his third Super-G ball after 2014 and 2016. Understandably, there is no joy after the awards ceremony. Even if she herself says that the big ball was never in her focus.
“All winter I never talked about the World Cup in general and I never thought about it. So there is no point talking about it now, “Gut-Behrami said in the” SRF “interview. But she says: “In theory, victory is still possible, but now it is very unrealistic.”
Odermatt: “That is a preliminary decision”
Also for Marco Odermatt there are two days to forget. He too could have made up ground in the duel with Alexis Pinturault, not to say he could overtake the French on Wednesday or Thursday. In Super-G, the last chance with the small ball is taken away from him, even if Vincent Kriechmayr had been enough to get 14th in the last race.
“It’s like that, but it hurts,” says Odermatt. “Yesterday they robbed me of a great opportunity. Regarding the big ball, this is definitely a preliminary decision. “Odermatt now only has the giant slalom on Saturday to put more pressure on Pinturault.” The opportunity is still there, but now I definitely have to wait for help. At the beginning of the week it will I had even more on my hands, ”said the man from Nidwalden, who is still 31 points behind the Frenchman.
