Vonn in top 15
Women’s Super-G in St. Moritz from 10.30 am LIVE
Cornelia Hütter is also unstoppable in St. Moritz! The Styrian raced to her second win of the season in the super-G on Saturday. Local hero Lara Gut finished second (+0.18), Italian Sofia Goggia came third (+0.33). Lindsey Vonn celebrated a successful World Cup comeback. 2162 days after announcing the end of her career, the US-American raced into the top 15.
Cornelia Hütter celebrated her second win of the season in the World Cup Super-G in St. Moritz on Saturday. One week after her downhill success in Beaver Creek, the ÖSV skier won in the Swiss luxury ski resort. Vonn finished in a strong 14th place in her World Cup comeback after almost six years. The 82-time World Cup winner from the USA was just over a second (+1.18) behind Hütter.
"Great race"
"I'm doing really well, it was such an awesome race today. It was super cool to be at the start", explained Vonn on ORF. A partial knee prosthesis enabled the 40-year-old to make a comeback. This fact had caused a lot of excitement and discussion in the run-up to the race.
After Marcel Hirscher, the second ski legend to ski straight into the points on her return after years of retirement. And Vonn announced that she still had reserves. "I didn't want to risk so much, I wanted to finish. I did everything I wanted to do. Tomorrow I will certainly push harder, take more risks," said Vonn. Her knee is doing quite well. "I'm not thinking about that either, I'm just thinking about skiing."
The final score:
Eighth World Cup win for Hütter
Winner Hütter put in a spirited run in bright sunshine and caught Gut-Behrami, who made what was probably the decisive mistake in the final section. "I skied the last section really well tactically and picked up a lot of speed. I changed my plan again after the inspection when I saw the first runners," explained the Styrian.
Her run itself didn't feel that good. "But that's racing, it doesn't always have to feel good," said Hütter. It was the 32-year-old's eighth World Cup victory, her fifth in a super-G. Mirjam Puchner also made it into the top ten in ninth place.
In contrast, things went disappointingly for the other Austrians. Ariane Rädler, who finished third in the super-G in Beaver Creek the previous week, only managed 24th after a botched run. Stephanie Venier and Ricarda Haaser finished 19th at the same time, Lisa Grill and Christina Ager shared 28th place. Another super-G is on the program in St. Moritz on Sunday (11 a.m.).
