Swiss ski star Lara Gut-Behrami secured her first victory of the season in the super-G race at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, ahead of the upcoming world championships. Gut-Behrami bested challenging course conditions to win the race, demonstrating her technical prowess and securing her 46th career victory.
GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany — Swiss ski star Lara Gut-Behrami has finally found a way back to winning ways, with next month's world championships looming.
“It’s a challenging slope, it’s not the conditions where I ski the best. It was a little bit slippery, a little bit soft. Sometimes when you don’t have the perfect conditions for yourself, you stop thinking.” Federica Brignone was three-hundredths further back in third, a day after the Italian won the downhill on the same hill.
“To start today with a new mindset was something I was really trying to do, and have my personal best in some place like Garmisch... feels really good.” Last year, Gut-Behrami overtook leader Mikaela Shiffrin in the overall standings in the last two months of the season when the American five-time champion was out nursing a knee injury.
