Lara Gut-Behrami is rapidly approaching the crystal balls in the Ski World Cup. With her eighth win of the season in the first of two Super-Gs in Kvitfjell, the Ticino woman extends her lead in the overall World Cup to over 300 points.

This season, too, the big headlines in the Alpine Ski World Cup largely belong to Marco Odermatt. The best Swiss woman is not that far behind the dominator among men: Lara Gut-Behrami is also well on her way to four crystal balls this winter. After winning the Super-G in Kvitfjell on Saturday on the 1994 Olympic course, she now leads the overall World Cup with a lead of 305 points.

It would have to be the devil if Gut-Behrami were to be intercepted in this impressive form in the overall World Cup. Seven races, only two of which are slaloms, are still outstanding. Her first pursuer Mikaela Shiffrin, who has not competed in any races since the fall in Cortina d’Ampezzo at the end of January, will return to the World Cup in Are at the earliest in a week. Third-place Federica Brignone, sixth on Saturday, is 346 points behind Gut-Behrami.
On the way to becoming the oldest overall World Cup winner
At 32, eight years after her first triumph, Gut-Behrami is on the verge of becoming the oldest overall World Cup winner. Their podium rate this season is 60 percent with 14 top-3 classifications in 23 races, and the win rate is almost 35 percent.
In the giant slalom rankings, Gut-Behrami is also hard to catch with two races to go, with a lead of 135 points. She is also leading in the downhill and super-G, in which she is now 25 points ahead of Cornelia Hütter. The Austrian came closest on Saturday when she came second.

Gut-Behrami did dribble around the question of crystal balls even after the victory in Kvitfjell by focusing on the second Super-G on Sunday. However, it became clear that everything was currently right in her skiing cosmos. “I picked up a lot of speed at the bottom, but I could have skied more boldly at the top,” she said about her ride, with which she beat Hütter and her compatriot Mirjam Puchner by 12 and 13 hundredths respectively distant.
The puzzle pieces take hold
The fact that things are going so well this season and that she has already won her eighth race does not feel like a dream, Gut-Behrami continued. Rather, she worked hard over many years to get to this point. «At the moment I’m especially happy that all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. And that I’m healthy,” said the now 45-time World Cup winner.

With visibility not ideal, Gut-Behrami also prevented the Swiss team from losing in Kvitfjell. In the absence of the injured trio Corinne Suter, Jasmine Flury and Joana Hählen, Delia Durrer was the second best Swiss woman in 21st place. Jasmina Suter and Priska Nufer took 25th and 29th place, Michelle Gisin missed the points in 33rd place. (nih/sda)
