KEYSTONE
Jasmine Flury narrowly misses her third World Cup podium in the second Super-G in Kvitfjell. The downhill world champion is pushed out of the top 3 by the Austrian outsiders Nina Ortlieb, Stephanie Venier and Franziska Gritsch.
Ortlieb (car number 31) leads the classification following 42 drivers ahead of her compatriots Venier (29) and Gritsch (26). Flury, who with the normally unfavorable start number 1 also found better conditions than the top favorites, but worse than the drivers with higher numbers, is only in 6th place. Wendy Holdener is eighth, Stephanie Jenal tenth, Corinne Suter twelfth.
The riders who were also in a good position alongside Suter in the fight for the small crystal globe are in 12th place (Elena Curtoni, at the same time as Suter), 14th (Cornelia Hütter), 15th (Ragnhild Mowinckel), 20th (Lara Gut). -Behrami) and 21 (Federica Brignone).

Fast start of the Schwyzerin. She can keep up with Goggia up to the fourth split but then loses some time in the final section. But with a strong drive, she takes a good fourth place.

Schmidhofer without a chance
The Austrian cannot keep up with the best times and has to be content with intermediate 14th place for the time being.
-

Tippler falls behind
The Austrian shows a solid ride and ranks 12th behind Joana Hählen.

-
Start number 15
???????? Gut-Behrami falls behind
By the second split she was already losing over a second. Then she attacks and wants to turn it up once more. The woman from Ticino only manages this to a limited extent and has to settle for an intermediate 7th place at the finish.
-
Start number 14
Hütter in intermediate place 5
And it goes in quick succession. Cornelia Hütter made a mistake in the middle section and the gap added up to well over a second. Below she catches up a lot of time once more and is 29 hundredths behind in intermediate place 5.

-
Start number 12
Curtoni shared third place with Suter
The leader in the discipline rating loses more than a second at the top. Thanks to a strong finish on the finish slope, she can reduce the mortgage once more and at the same time sits in third place like Suter.
-
Start number 11
Puchner is eliminated
She starts off just as fast as Flury and takes a little too much risk following that. She misses a goal and is the second athlete eliminated in this race.
-
Start number 10
Mowinckel missed the podium
The local hero can only keep up with the best time in the last section of the course, but it’s not enough for a podium finish. She loses 32 hundredths and has to be content with intermediate rank 4 for the time being.
-
Start number 9
???????? Suter on intermediate rank 3
She starts very quickly and loses little time to her teammate. She does not manage the final part optimally and sits 26 hundredths behind in intermediate 3rd place.
-
Start number 8
???????? Gisin drives next to the podium
By the third time she was almost 2 seconds behind, but she was also catching up a bit on the finish slope. She takes fourth place behind Hählen.
-
Start number 7
Shiffrin just behind Flury
She can keep the gap within limits in the upper part of the course, but once more loses a lot of time in the technical middle part. With a terrific target slope, she can catch up over a second. She falls short of Flury’s best time by 10 hundredths.
-
Start number 6
Worley with a big deficit
Same picture at Tessa Worley. She comes into the last sector with a deficit of more than 2 seconds and can then catch up a bit. She sits in third place, 1.76 seconds down.
-
Start number 5
Gauche clearly beaten
There still seems to be a lot of fresh snow on the track at the top, because the Frenchwoman also loses almost 2 seconds before the second split. However, she cannot make up any more time in the lower section of the track and the gap thus totals 2.22 seconds.
-
Start number 4
???????? Hollow flop at top – top at bottom
The Swiss starts the race following the interruption and is over a second into the race shortly following the start. With a fantastic final slope, she catches up a lot of time once more and takes second place behind her teammate Flury.
-
Start number 3
Robinson falls into the nets – race is interrupted
The New Zealander cannot keep up with the best time in the upper section of the course. After a strong middle section, she slips and falls into the nets. We hope she wasn’t injured.
-
Start number 2
Siebenhofer falls well behind Flury
After the gliding passage, she already has a lead of 30 hundredths. But in the middle section she can’t keep up with Flury’s time and the lead turns into a deficit. She doesn’t manage the target slope optimally either and she has to admit defeat with a big deficit.
-
Start number 1
???????? Flury opens the Super-G
In light snowfall, the Swiss is the first athlete to dare to take to the track. She shows an appealing ride up to the finish slope before she makes a small mistake. The time stops at 1:30.13.
-
Gut-Behrami needs points for the overall World Cup
For the Ticino it is also regarding consolidating her second place in the overall World Cup. Victory has already been awarded to Mikaela Shiffrin, but behind Gut-Behrami Vlhova and Brignone are close on her heels.
-
Fight for the little crystal ball
While the downhill and slalom classifications have already been decided, everything in the Super-G points to a close and exciting season finale. Curtoni leads this discipline with a measly lead of 8 points over Gut-Behrami. It’s also extremely tight behind them and 3 other athletes still have a good chance of winning the small crystal ball. With a win today in Kvitfjell, Mowinckel (20 points behind), Hütter (21) and Brignone (32) can still hope for victory in the discipline classification.
