Gut-Behrami tops super-G standings after Cortina victory

SPORTS 28.01.2024

Lara Gut-Behrami won the alpine skiing World Cup super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo on Sunday, to move to the top of the discipline standings on another crash-filled day in the Italian Dolomites.

Olympic super-G champion Gut-Behrami claimed her fourth win of the season with a time of one minute and 20.75 seconds, 0.21sec, 0.21sec ahead of Stephanie Venier, who won Friday's downhill at Cortina.

France's Romane Miradoli completed the podium, while Saturday's downhill winner Ragnhild Mowinckel finished fourth, over half a second off the pace.

Swiss Gut-Behrami, 32, leads the super-G standings by just 10 points from Cornelia Huetter, one of a clutch of skiers not to finish their run on Sunday.

Gut-Behrami also cut Mikaela Shiffrin's lead in the overall standings to 195 points, taking advantage of the absence of the American skiing icon.

Shiffrin hurt her left leg crashing out of Friday's downhill. She will also miss the giant slalom at Kronplatz on Tuesday, the last race in this Italian swing of the World Cup season.

Sunday's race was interrupted by another long stoppage when Gut-Behrami's compatriot Stephanie Jenal smashed into the safety netting. Canada's Valerie Grenier also suffered a heavy fall.
