Overall champ Gut eclipses Vonn for super-G title
Print Edition
LARA Gut won the season-long super-G title yesterday, finishing second behind Tina Weirather at the World Cup finals and overtaking the injured Lindsey Vonn for the crystal globe.
The overall champion from Switzerland was only 19 points behind Vonn heading into the final race and needed to finish at least sixth to surpass the American, who injured her knee in a crash in a super-G in Andorra last month.
Gut finished 0.41 seconds behind Liechtenstein’s Weirather on the Corviglia slope, with Austrian Cornelia Huetter third, 0.59 seconds off the pace.
Huetter finished fourth in the super-G standings, just behind Vonn, who was in St Moritz, Switzerland, after flying in to pick up her downhill title on Wednesday.
It was a second super-G trophy for Swiss Gut after her triumph in the discipline two years ago.
Weirather sealed her second World Cup victory of the season, having won a super-G in La Thuile, Italy, on February 21.
Meanwhile, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde won the men’s super-G title when he came second in the eighth and final event in the discipline behind Switzerland’s Beat Feuz in St Moritz yesterday.
The hefty Kilde, 23-years-old, ended atop the final rankings with 415 points, while fellow Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud was second on 375 and a third Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, out injured since January, had clung on to third with 310 points.
