Weirather triumphs in super-G
Print Edition
Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein won the women’s World Cup super-G at Saint-Moritz in Switzerland yesterday.
With a time of 1 minute, 17.38 seconds, the 24-year-old finished ahead of Kajsa Kling of Sweden by a margin of 0.31 seconds, with Austria’s Anna Fenninger taking third spot, 0.39 seconds off the pace.
It was Weirather’s second World Cup win of what has been an excellent start to the season. In eight races, she has finished on the podium on five occasions.
This victory sees her move to within 37 points of Switzerland’s Lara Gut in the overall World Cup standings.
Gut won the first two super-G races but only came in seventh yesterday on a course where she recorded her very first World Cup win four years ago.
In Val d’Isere, France, two-time defending World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher produced a superb second run to win a giant slalom race yesterday, while favorite Ted Ligety was among several racers to ski out.
It was Hirscher’s second win of the season after his slalom victory at Levi, Finland, and fourth podium from five races so far.
The Austrian was third after the first run, 0.41 seconds behind Frenchman Alexis Pinturault, but tamed the hostile Stade Olympique de Bellevarde course to finish 0.76 seconds ahead of Thomas Fanara of France and 1.09 clear of Germany’s Stefan Luitz.
Pinturault made an error on the top section and finished fourth.
The Bellevarde course lived up to its tough reputation as Ligety, Bode Miller and Aksel Lund Svindal failed to finish their first runs.
