Tina Maze celebrates her 20th World Cup victory – Agerer 23rd.

The Slovenian set a best time of 1:40,46 minutes and climbed to the top podium for the ninth time this season. The surprise, however, was the American Laurenne Ross, who took second place with start number 26. At the finish she was 39 hundredths slower than Maze. Third place went to the German Maria Höfl-Riesch (+0,50 seconds).

“The special thing today is winning a downhill. I did win in St. Moritz (2008, CoR), but I was lucky back then. Today it wasn't luck and I'm very happy. I achieved my first goal of winning a Super-G, now all I was missing was a success in the downhill,” said Tina Maze in her first reaction.

With the victory, Maze also broke Hermann Maier's points record from the 1999/2000 season and improved the record from 2.000 to 2.024 points. However, Maze still has seven races left until the season finale on March 17th in Lenzerheide to take the record to new heights.

The best “Azzurra” on Saturday was the World Cup silver medalist Nadia Fanchini, who finished twelfth, 1,51 seconds behind the Slovenian winner, followed by her compatriot Daniela Merighetti in 13th place. There were also points for the two South Tyrolean Lisa Agerer and Verena Stuffer. They finished 23rd (+2,22 seconds) and 24th (2,45 seconds), respectively.

The race was interrupted for a long time after Alice McKennis fell. Tomorrow the race weekend comes to an end with another Super-G.
