ÖSV disappoints again
Women’s Super-G in La Thuile – LIVE from 11 am
Huge jubilation for Federica Brignone! The Italian won the second super-G in La Thuile on Friday and is now as good as guaranteed the big crystal globe. Things are also looking really good again in the Super-G World Cup. The race was disappointing for the ÖSV ladies.
Brignone won by one hundredth of a second (the equivalent of 26 centimeters) ahead of her compatriot Sofia Goggia. Third place went to Romane Miradoli from France (+0.05 seconds). The best Austrian was Ariane Rädler (+0.64) in seventh place.
Here are the final results:
Big lead in the overall World Cup
Brignone's closest rival, Lara Gut-Behrami from Switzerland, finished fourth (+0.35), just like the day before, and is 382 points behind ahead of the World Cup final in Sun Valley. With downhill, super-G and giant slalom, Gut-Behrami has too few events to make up for this deficit. She also lost the lead in the discipline rankings. Brignone is now just five points ahead of her. Third-placed Goggia, 104 points behind, no longer has a chance of winning this crystal.
Tenth win of the season for Brignone
"It was my big goal to win this crystal again after 2020. It's all the better that I can do it at home," said Brignone on ORF. After an over-motivated performance on Thursday (3rd), she managed an almost flawless ride. She celebrated her tenth win of the season in the Aosta Valley. "I wanted to see the green light so much in front of my audience. It's crazy, something really big for me."
"I wanted to ski at full throttle like yesterday. I'm happy that things are going well and that I'm flying to America with a good feeling," said Rädler. The Vorarlberg native finished eighth on Thursday.
Hütter feels the after-effects of a fall
Cornelia Hütter fell on her way to a best time in the lower section and finished 15th (+0.74) on Friday. "After yesterday it was a bit difficult mentally. Physically too, I felt it in my muscles around my knee," explained Hütter, who will be battling Brignone for the downhill crystal in Sun Valley.
World champion Stephanie Venier was again not satisfied with 18th place. Mirjam Puchner (20th) also did not go according to plan. Magdalena Egger (23rd) kept up with the fastest racers for half of the race. Stephanie Brunner finished 29th, while European Cup dominator Nadine Fest (32nd) and Christina Ager (out) missed out on points and thus qualification for the World Cup final. The previous day's winner Emma Aicher, Germany's budding speed star, was eliminated with the fastest intermediate time.
