Swiss Gut-Behrami wins first Super G in Kvitfjell

SPORTS 02.03.2024

Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami on Saturday won the first women's Super G race of the weekend in Kvitfjell to extend her lead in the overall World Cup standings on injured US star Mikaela Shiffrin.

Gut-Behrami, 32, finished ahead of two Austrians with Cornelia Huetter at 0.12sec and Mirjam Puchner 0.13 off the pace.

With Shiffrin still recovering from a knee injury, Gut-Behrami now leads her rival by 305 points in the overall standings.

The American should return to competition next weekend in the Swedish resort of Are, where a giant and a slalom are planned.

Gut-Behrami claimed her eighth success this season, the best record of her career, and a 45th victory in the World Cup.

She has the second-best record of active skiers behind Shiffrin, men and women combined.

On Saturday, a downhill race had initially been scheduled but due to the weather, training sessions planned for Thursday and Friday could not take place and the event was transformed into a Super G.

A second super G is scheduled for Sunday in the Norwegian resort.
