Gut-Behrami speeds to super-G victory in Altenmarkt

SPORTS 14.01.2024

Swiss veteran Lara Gut-Behrami wrapped up a weekend trio of women's World Cup speed events at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee when she grabbed victory in Sunday's super-G.

It was the 32-year-old's third career super-G win at the Austrian resort.

Austrian Cornelia Huetter, winner of Friday's super-G, was second a quarter of a second behind to strengthen her hold on first place in the event standings. She edged compatriot Mirjam Puchner, second in Saturday's downhill, by one-hundredth of a second.

Sofia Goggia, winner of Saturday's downhill, was eighth.

A second Italian star Federica Brignone, who climbed to second in the overall World Cup standings on Saturday, finished 12th.

Gut-Behrami also won the Altenmarkt super-G in 2011 and 2022. Her victory lifted her to third in the overall, overtaking slalom specialist Petra Vlhova who did not race over the weekend.

US star Mikaela Shiffrin still holds a comfortable lead in the overall standings despite opting to miss the weekend with a cold. By Sunday, she was at the hospital bedside of boyfriend Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who dislocated a shoulder when he crashed in Wengen on Saturday.
