**Archyde:** congrats on the win, Cornelia! This victory, coming on the heels of your downhill win in Beaver Creek last week, shows you’re in phenomenal form. What do you attribute this astonishing run to?
**Cornelia Hütter:** Thank you so much! It feels incredible, for sure. I’ve been working incredibly hard both physically and mentally, and I feel like everything is clicking right now. This course in St. Moritz is always challenging, but I drew on my experience from previous races here, and I’m really happy with how I executed my run.
