Lara, "Mrs Super-G" and a special victory: "Nice here in St. Moritz". The run-up to Shiffrin has begun

The words of the Ticino, at the first seal of the season (and there are 6 victories and 2 second places in the last 8 super-g disputed!). The American is also satisfied, on the 111th podium in 200 races, who remains the leader of a cup ... beautiful.

Dream numbers for "Mrs Super-G", the one who has literally returned to enchant since last season, just think that of the last eight super-gs played (including world gold), Lara Gut-Behrami has won six with two second places , behind Federica Brignone in Val di Fassa and, last Sunday, to Sofia Goggia in Lake Louise.

Simply outstanding. “I don't think I gave any show of strength, but I'm happy with my race - Gut-Behrami told Swiss TV post-race - I won here the last time (and it was the first in CdM, at only 17 years old! ) in 2008, it's good to do it again. It wasn't easy, there were a lot of waves and little visibility, but I like to tackle the super-g when it's challenging and you have to attack to the max. It took a lot of work to get back to this level (referring to the health problems of the last few weeks, ed), I am proud to be able to ski again in this way and I am also happy for the public, who we found on the track " .
