\nAUSTRIA:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swiss veteran Lara Gut-Behrami wrapped up a weekend trio of women’s World Cup speed events at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee when she grabbed victory in Sunday’s super-G.<\/p>\n

It was the 32-year-old’s third career super-G win at the Austrian resort.<\/p>\n

“I was attacking and this is what I was looking for,” Gut-Behrami said. “It was what I wanted from the top to the finish so it’s a nice feeling to ski like that.”<\/p>\n

Austrian Cornelia Huetter, winner of Friday’s super-G, was second, a quarter of a second behind on a course shortened because of high winds at the top of the slope. She edged compatriot Mirjam Puchner, second in Saturday’s downhill, by one-hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n

Sofia Goggia, winner of Saturday’s downhill, was eighth.<\/p>\n

Gut-Behrami, who also won the Altenmarkt super-G in 2011 and 2022, took her 40th career World Cup victory and third of the season.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been racing well, and now I was trying to translate that onto the speed skis and I think these days here on such a nice slope have helped me a lot,” she said.<\/p>\n

Huetter said that after her victory in the super-G on Friday she did not sleep well and that was why she struggled in Saturday’s downhill.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday it was a hard race because I had not the best feeling in my mind,” she admitted. “Today I tried to ski like on Friday. And it was really good, it was attacking, a few mistakes but that’s racing.”<\/p>\n

Huetter leads Gut-Behrami by 90 points in the super-G standings with Italian Federica Brignone, who finished 12th on Sunday, three points further back.<\/p>\n

Gut-Behrami jumped to third in the overall standings on 749 points, overtaking Slovak slalom specialist Petra Vlhova who did not race over the weekend. Brignone is second on 787.<\/p>\n

US star Mikaela Shiffrin, with 929 points, still holds a comfortable lead in the overall standings despite opting to miss the weekend after suffering a cold. By Sunday, she was at the hospital bedside of boyfriend Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who dislocated a shoulder when he crashed in Wengen on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
