Lara Gut-Behrami Dominates Super-G Race

Lara Gut-Behrami dominates the World Cup super-G final with a time of 1:12.35, outpacing many men's speed specialists.

What happened?

The men's and women's Ski World Cup races were held on the same course in Sun Valley, USA, allowing for a rare comparison between male and female athletes. Lara Gut-Behrami's performance was impressive, leaving big names like James Crawford and Justin Murisier behind her.

Why it matters for Lara Gut-Behrami

Gut-Behrami's time would have placed her in the top 10 in the men's race, less than half a second behind Marco Odermatt. The 40-year-old World Cup returnee Lindsey Vonn also had an unbelievable performance, finishing 20th in the men's race.

What comes next?

The comparison between the sexes is somewhat misleading due to the women skiing the freshly prepared course before the men. And the men will have to contend with the rutted remains of the course. Lara Gut-Behrami's magical run in the snow in Sun Valley was a highlight of the event. The only men's athlete to cross the finish line who is not in the mixed top 20 is Jared Goldberg, who finished in 1:15.26. So Corinne Suter and Gut-Behrami also beat him. Gut-Behrami conjures up a great run, outpacing numerous men's speed specialists. The duel between the oldies and 40-year-old Christof Innerhofer was lost by the US American by the narrowest of margins. The Italian crossed the finish line in 1:13.57 seconds - seven hundredths ahead of Lindsey Vonn. Lara Gut-Behrami's performance is a testament to her skill and speed on the slopes.
