The sun was shining in St. Anton for surprise winner Macuga

It was exciting and varied Women’s Super-G in St. Anton. Because the sun came out in the meantime. Because Lindsey Vonn showed her class again. And because a surprise winner from the USA was able to celebrate in Austria.

For Lauren Macuga laughed at her first success Sonnebut also Stephanie Venier could in St. Anton smile from the podium.

Sun changes everything

The race changed with the ride of Stephanie Venier. The sun came out for a few minutesthe runners were able to push themselves to the limit.

For the time being, this took advantage of Venier, who took the lead with number 15 – and couldn’t believe it because the journey hadn’t gone perfectly.

A little later trumped Lauren Macuga in perfect conditions. The young American distanced Venier by 68 hundredths.

Previous day’s winner Brignone was already almost a second ago.

The 22-year-old Macuga was slowly starting to think about her first podium place in the World Cup.

And because the sun disappeared again and times promptly slowed down, Macuga’s victory came closer.

Came with number 31 Lindsey Vonn. The 40-year-old had impressed on the descent the day before and didn’t let the worsening visibility slow her down.

Vonn approaches the podium

There was only one mistake on Vonn’s part; the superstar from the USA skied like he did before he retired as a skier. At the finish, Vonn was only 1.24 seconds behind Macuga – Rang 4, even before Gut-Behrami.

There was no chance Conny Hütter die cooled down had started: “I ran out of juice.”
