Ledecka wins World Cup super-G as Gut-Behrami claims another globe

SPORTS 22.03.2024

Ester Ledecka, the Czech snowboarder turned speedster, won the women's super-G at the World Cup finals at Saalbach on Friday.

Ledecka, who famously won the super-G alpine skiing gold and the parallel giant slalom in snowboarding at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, clocked a winning 1min 15.94sec down the Ulli Maier piste in brilliant sunshine.

It was the multi-talented 28-year-old's fourth victory on the World Cup circuit.

Italy's Federica Brignone came in second, at 0.28sec, while Norway's Kajsa Vickhoff Lie rounded out the podium, a further two-hundredths of a second adrift.

Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami finished seventh, a position that confirmed her as World Cup super-G winner in the discipline standings, 30 points ahead of Brignone.

The 32-year-old Swiss skier had claimed her second overall title on Sunday despite only finishing 10th in the season-closing giant slalom.

With that result the Olympic super-G gold medallist took an unassailable lead into the final two races of the World Cup season -- the super-G and Sunday's downhill -- as well as claiming her first giant slalom title.
