Corinne Suter took the podium in the downhill in Kvitfjell (Norway). She was only preceded by 41 hundredths of a second by the Norwegian Kajsa Vickoff Lie, the great winner of the day in her country – the first victory in the ladies’ downhill for a Norwegian.
And the 28-year-old Schwyzoise was still 11 hundredths ahead of the Italian Sofia Goggia, second, who at the same time won the crystal globe downhill.
Fifth at 0.79 tied with the Austrian Ramona Siebenhofer, the American Mikaela Shiffrin for her part secured a fifth victory in the final general classification of the World Cup. She can no longer be caught by her pursuers.
The other Swiss downhillers disappointed. After the passage of the first 30 competitors, Priska Nufer occupied the tenth place (+0”95), Joana Hählen the fourteenth (+1”21), the world champion Jasmine Flury the 17th (+1”56), Lara Gut-Behrami 20th (+1”69), Delia Durrer 22nd (+1”97) and Michelle Gisin 24th (+2”43).
