Suter masters the difficult Garmisch Super-G best

The Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was undoubtedly one of the most demanding in recent years: poor visibility, coupled with changing snow conditions, presented the athletes with a major challenge. Large time gaps were the result.

Brignone doesn't keep up The Azzurre did not get along well on the course set by Giovanni Feltrin, coach of the Italians. Not even the top favorite and so far leader in the discipline rankings, Federica Brignone. The 29-year-old showed a flawless run, but never really got up to speed and fell almost a second behind the winner Corinne Suter at the finish. The latter was in the front from the first intermediate time and steadily expanded its lead. In the interview, she revealed that her trip didn't feel perfect by any means, but no one could come close to her time.

Sofia Goggia was able to keep up with the Swiss, but slipped on the inner ski in the lower part of the route and crashed into the safety fences. Viktoria Rebensburg suffered the same fate: the radiant downhill winner lost the line on the way to a new best time, took a goal with her and fell in almost the same place as Goggia. The German initially stayed lying down, but then fortunately skied to the finish on her own skis. Although there appears to be nothing serious wrong with either of them, they were taken to the hospital to be on the safe side ( SportNews berichtete ).

Behind Suter, who was not only happy about her first Super-G victory, but also about the lead in the discipline ranking, Nicole Schmidhofer from Austria and the surprisingly strong Wendy Holdener (Switzerland) took second and third place. Brignone ended up in 1th place. Nicol Delago did not start due to illness. Verena Gasslitter also skipped the race.
