Women's Super-G canceled
Women’s Super-G in St. Moritz – LIVE from 11am
Wind and fog put a spanner in the works for the second women's Super-G in St. Moritz on Sunday. After the race had been postponed several times, the organizers decided at 12 noon to cancel the race.
The weather conditions were too unstable and unfavorable, the FIS announced. It is still unclear whether and where the race will be rescheduled. The first super-G on Saturday was won by ÖSV skier Cornelia Hütter in perfect conditions.
"Would not have been fair"
For the Styrian, the cancellation was definitely the right decision. "It wouldn't have been fair. In between, it actually looked quite good again and again. But the problem was that the stable weather changed again within a minute," said the winner from the previous day. ÖSV head coach Roland Assinger also showed understanding for the cancellation: "In addition to the very, very poor ground visibility, the gusts of wind were simply unpredictable."
In any case, Hütter leaves St. Moritz with her second win of the season in her luggage. The form seems to be right early on in the World Cup season. Apart from Hütter, however, the trip to the Swiss ski resort was extremely mixed for the ÖSV. With Mirjam Puchner, only one other athlete finished in the top ten, Stephanie Venier, Ricarda Haaser and Ariane Rädler were far behind.
Three-week break for speed women
The dominant theme of the weekend was certainly Lindsey Vonn's amazing comeback. The 40-year-old American came out of retirement after almost six years with 14th place. An artificial knee joint made the exceptional athlete's return possible.
The speed women's World Cup does not resume until the new year. On the second weekend in January, a downhill and a super-G are on the program in St. Anton. The highlight of the season will then follow in February with the World Ski Championships in Saalbach.
