Under a gray sky, Stephanie Venier, 30, set the best time of the day (1 minute 16 seconds 52/100th) with bib No. 7, ahead of two Italians: Federica Brignone (4/100th) and Marta Bassino ( 15/100th). The 2017 downhill world vice-champion thus won her third World Cup victory, the first in Super-G, after two successes in downhill in 2024 in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) and in 2019 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen ( Germany).
In front of her home crowd, Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, at the top of the general ranking, widened the gap a little further with her American rival Mikaela Shiffrin, who is nursing a left knee injury and is aiming for a return to competition on March 9-10 . After a victory then a 3rd place gleaned during the two descents of Crans-Montana, the Ticino, who seemed slightly restrained during her visit, finished in 6th position on Sunday, without forcing.
In the general classification, the 32-year-old skier is now 205 points ahead of Shiffrin. She is at the top of the downhill, giant and super-G rankings. On the French side, Romaine Miradoli, very committed to her skis, took a good 4th place in Switzerland, a good omen after her bronze medal in Super-G at the end of January in Cortina d’Ampezzo. Laura Gauché, 2nd French, finished 10th.
