Lara Gut-Behrami wins the super-G globe at Soldeu
The Ticino skier was extremely fast on Thursday in the super-G. She won the World Cup finals in Soldeu, and therefore won the specialty globe in passing.

Lara Gut-Behrami had her fist clenched as she crossed the finish line in Soldeu. The Ticino woman knew it, she had just completed an exceptional round. What ensure him the super-G globe? There was only one condition missing: that the Italian Elena Curtoni was slower than her. It has been.
Elena Curtoni quickly fell behind on the top of the course, where Lara Gut-Behrami had dug a real gap between her and her opponents. The gap widened further, to the point that the Italian finished 1”23 behind the Swiss. It was another Italian, Federica Brignone (2nd, +0”22), who made it to the podium. Norway’s Ragnhild Mowinckel finished in third place.
This globe is enough to relieve a Ticino woman who has been quite upset during the season. It had started off with a bang, with a giant victory at Killington (USA). But afterwards, it was Mikaela Shiffrin, on another planet, who won the classification of the discipline. Downhill, Sofia Goggia reigned supreme. Only the super-G remained, for which we had to fight until the end.

Nobody really crushed the discipline. The Swiss has a victory, two other podiums but also an elimination and a twentieth place. Several scenarios were still possible when setting off in Soldeu (Andorra). A one-day race, almost like the Worlds, which Lara Gut-Behrami performed brilliantly this time. This small crystal globe is the fifth to adorn the athlete’s trophy cabinet. His fourth in super-G.
