Lara Gut-Behrami (2nd) and Corinne Suter (3rd) reached the podium during the super-G in Cortina. These are the 12th and 13th Swiss podiums of the winter in 17 races for women! The victory went to the Italian Federica Brignone.
Without an exceptional performance from Federica Brignone, Lara Gut-Behrami could have achieved the 46th success of her career and a 4th bouquet in the Dolomites in super-G. Very feline, the Ticino has mastered the key passages of this Olimpia delle Tofane track, apart from a fairly average passage at the exit of Rumerlo.
Only for the skier from Comano who must be content with a 94th podium in the World Cup, the 42nd in her favorite discipline, Federica Brignone skied like a dream. The Valdôtaine, overall leader of the World Cup, proved irresistible to achieve her 31st World Cup success, the 11th in the discipline. Leading in all scores, she left only crumbs to her opponents.
Corinne finds her best level
Fifth in the descent on Saturday, Corinne Suter is slowly returning to her best level. The Olympic downhill champion had not been on a super-G podium since her victory at the end of 2022 in Lake Louise. And it was not easy for the Schwyzoise who started with bib 1, a position rarely desired in this discipline where there is only recognition in the morning. Gentle on the skis and efficient in the 3rd sector, she went for the 25th podium of her career, the 9th in Super-G.
