Vonn wins Super-G in Cortina - “Azzurre” disappoint

The American drove flawlessly and left nothing to ruin her victory at the foot of the Tofane. In the end, she had a lead of 43 hundredths over second-placed Swede Anja Pärson. The young Austrian Anna Fenninger secured third place, while the overall World Cup leader Maria Riesch came in ninth and clearly missed a place on the podium.

The Italian national team was unable to place any runner in the top ten in the race, which was characterized by short time intervals. As the fastest of the “Azzurre”, 19-year-old Elena Curtoni took 15th place. The race was disappointing for the South Tyrolean speed hopes, especially Hanna Schnarf. After finishing fourth in the final training, she didn't get past 23rd place under competitive conditions. She was 1,56 seconds behind Vonn. Lucia Recchia, who was flirting with not competing until recently due to her long-term knee injury, finished 27th in the final ranking. Verena Stuffer from Val Gardena took 36th place. On Saturday the traditional downhill run is on the program in Cortina, while on Sunday the second and final Super-G will take place in the upscale Belluno ski resort.
