Bomb Run: Lara Gut-Behrami triumphs again at Garmisch(01:34)

The podium

1. Lara Gut-Behrami (Sh) 1: 17.37
2. Petra Vlhova (SVK) +0.28
3. Tamara Tippler (Ö) +0.73

The race

When Lara Gut-Behrami pulverized Norwegian Kajsa Vickhoff Lie’s time, everyone believed in another landslide victory. But: Some of the following riders put themselves in his shoes, notably Petra Vlhova closing in on Gut-Behrami, with one or two fewer mistakes she could have won. Since this race does not take place in the subjunctive either, the Swiss driver can look forward to her 30th World Cup victory.

Swiss women

1. Lara Gut-Behrami 1: 17.37
5. Corinne Suter +1.11
11. Michelle Gisin +1.47
16. Joana Hählen +1.81
20. Priska Nufer +2.21

Fifth Super-G of the winter, fourth victory for Lara Gut-Behrami! She wins like Saturday, not so superior this time, but that doesn’t matter. The Ticino woman exudes self-confidence and handles radii as tight as no other. There’s no question: at least now Gut-Behrami is the top seed for gold in Super-G at the World Cup. By the way: even the little crystal ball from the Super G World Cup is practically safe. With two races to go, she is 195 points ahead of runner-up Corinne Suter. It would be his third disciplinary victory and his first in five years.

The last one remains as it was: Corinne suter it doesn’t drive bad, but it’s also not good enough to stay ahead of the curve. It’s a shame that he loses the outside ski and with it the momentum on a left turn on the flat section before the finish. The queen of speed from last season will be happy to take a few days off before the World Cup.

Really wanted Michelle Gisin skip the Garmisch weekend. He also missed the Super-G on Saturday, but is now at the start and showing solid driving; it is clear that it was a disadvantage not having already contested the track at race speed.

The World Cup in Cortina will probably run out Joana Hählen occur. Even in Garmisch’s second Super-G, the Bern woman won’t get going, why is the pressure paralyzing her? The fact is, Hehlen only reached half the ranking in Super-G, but four other Swiss women met the target (one in the top 7 or two in the top 15). Hehlen fights, but often drives too direct and strays too far and thus gets into soft snow. Ultimately, 15th place is not long away, making the situation even more bitter.

TO Priska nufer For once, nothing fits, it chains error after error. However, it remains the same: he drives stronger than ever and has met World Cup guidelines in both downhill and Super-G. Jasmine flury she drives well, stops with the sixth fastest time at the midpoint of the race, but then the Graubünden woman slips on the indoor ski. Bitter!

The conditions

Sunday’s fog has cleared, the sky is overcast and the slope has been prepared with a lot of salt due to the high temperatures. The coach for the course is Swiss speed coach Roland Platzer.

That was something to talk about

Well, Behrami, who else? He is in a better mood than in many years and is celebrating his fourth win of the season. Ski Switzerland dreams of many World Cup medals.

So it goes

As skiers continue to ski at Garmisch next weekend, skiers can already pack their bags for the Cortina World Championship. The first medals will be awarded in the combination (Super-G and Slalom) on Monday at 11:00 am
