Super-Fenninger wins Super-G – Verena Stuffer 11th

In a Super-G that was initially marked by many failures (after the first eight starters, only one made it to the finish, editor's note), the Austrian Anna Fenninger showed an almost perfect ride and came up with very different conditions (very icy at the top , very soft snow below) is best handled. Fenninger, the 2011 super combined world champion, won in 1.25,52:XNUMX minutes. “It's very emotional, I can't believe it. Tactically I drove a good race. The radio messages from the coaches were very important. Maria Höfl-Riesch was trembling when she drove,” said Anna Fenninger at the finish.

The five-time winner of a World Cup race was 0,55 seconds faster than super combined Olympic champion Maria Höfl-Riesch (Germany) and 0,66 than Nicole Hosp, who won the silver medal in the super combined. The 30-year-old from North Tyrol also won silver in the slalom in Turin in 2006.

Huge mistake by Maria Höfl-Riesch Maria Höfl-Riesch was even faster than Fenninger in the upper part of the Super-G and was not deterred by a piste worker who was standing just a few meters away from a gate. However, she had a bad time entering the finish slope and lost a lot of time to the new Olympic champion after a stop.

Many other top riders were greatly disappointed, such as Lara Gut (Switzerland) and Tina Maze (Slovenia), who had to settle for fourth and fifth place, just a few hundredths of a second behind.

Verena Stuffer in eleventh place Verena Stuffer made some mistakes shortly after the start that cost her a lot of time. The 29-year-old from Val Gardena was able to gain a few tenths of a second on the racers who had started ahead of her in the lower part of the route, but in the end she finished in a respectable eleventh place, exactly two seconds behind Fenninger. Stuffer beamed into the camera after the sun and sent a greeting to her parents.

Weirather cannot start One of the top favorites, Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather, was unable to take part in the Super-G due to a bruised tibia. Due to this injury, she had to miss the descent. The 24-year-old took part in the tour, but after driving in, Weirather definitely canceled. “It's a real shame, but it was clear from the start that it would be very difficult. I was in the top five in all races this year. Then the Olympics come and you can't go. That is bitter. But I can’t blame myself, I’ve tried everything,” said Weirather in an ORF interview.
