Sankt Moritz, 21 December 2024 – Cornelia Huetteralways her. The Austrian again mocks everyone, as in the Beaver Creek descent, and wins the World Cup super-G in Sankt Moritz, also reopening the games for the specialty cup and defeating the best. The Austrian preceded the hostess Lara Gut Behramidecisive error in the last doors, and a solid Sofia Goggiamore imprecise than usual but once again on the podium: three out of three after returning. Italy did well with Curtoni, Brignone and Pirovano in the top ten. Much anticipation for Lindsey too Vonn which finished in the top 15.
Huetter wins below, Goggia imprecise above
Sunshine in Switzerland, on a track with the right pace, technique and timing. It is essential to exit quickly from the top part before the plateau, but the difference can also be made on the mid-track wall which anticipates the finish where there is still work to be done. The bumps make the difference and you need to cushion as best as possible without exaggerating with the lines. Cornelia Huetter puts the pieces together better than the others and finds the second victory of the season by accelerating in the final part, where she finds the right tactic compared to Gut Behramiwho made a mistake on the penultimate bump. The Austrian won in 1'15”18 with just 18 hundredths of a second over the Swiss, who was going very fast apart from a final mistake that condemned her to second place. Goggiaon the other hand, loses very high up, with abundant lines without properly cushioning the bumps, then accelerates towards the end but not enough to win and has to settle for third place at 33 hundredths. Third podium out of three, Sofia can still be satisfied. The super giant slalom confirms itself as a discipline suitable for Italy, in fact there are three other Italian athletes in the ten. Good Elena Curtonialso improving after missing all of last season, with fourth position at 42 hundredths from Huetter, followed by Brignone fifth at 43 cents. Well done too Laura Pirovanowith the number six position 70 cents behind, with Macuga, Ledecka, Puchner and Suter to complete the top ten. There was a lot of anticipation for Lindsey's official return to competition Vonn after five and a half years. The American, who came down with 31st thanks to a wild card, paid a lot in the first part of the slide, five tenths, while in the rest of the track she got by, even if with a bit of rust, and in the end she gets a precious top 15 with 1″18 behind. Without the top part it would have comfortably reached the top ten. With these results Goggia holds the red bib with 160 points, tied with Gut Behrami, while Huetter rises to 150 points with Brignone at 90. Tomorrow there will be a repeat.
