Super-G: Gut-Behrami wins in Zauchensee ahead of Hütter

The Swiss came ahead of Friday winner Cornelia Hütter (+0.25 seconds) and Mirjam Puchner (+0.26). The downhill run on Saturday was won by the Italian Sofia Goggia, meaning the three speed races had different winners.

Fearing a possible injury and still under the impression of the home win, Hütter acted cautiously on the descent and only came 16th. “I don’t have a hundred victories yet, so that’s normal. It was my fifth. Yesterday I was behind, today I attacked. The skis went really well,” said the Styrian, who led the Super-G classification Gut-Behrami and Brignone leads.

For Puchner it was also his second podium finish in Zauchensee after third place in the downhill. “Time says something different than my feeling. It was more of a fight from above. It’s surprising that I’m also at the front in the Super-G,” said the Salzburg woman, who was already seventh on Friday.

Gut-Behrami explained in the ORF TV interview that she wasn’t actually one to be proud, but that was the case that day. “I always tried to accelerate. I’m proud of that. Something was always missing lately, today I drove the way I wanted.” It was her third success in Zauchensee after that in the Super-G in 2011 and in the downhill in 2022.

Franziska Gritsch (+0.73), Stephanie Venier (+0.80) and Christine Scheyer (+0.82) were 14, 16 and 17 after 42 runners. Michaela Heider, Lena Wechner, Michelle Niederwieser and Ariane Rädler were initially also still in the points. The analyzes will show to what extent the sometimes quite stormy wind influenced the race.

The Austrians now hold nine podium places in 2023/24 and have already put an end to the weak record from the previous season.
