Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Österreich - The ski fans experienced a rousing spectacle on Thursday in Saalbach-Hinterglemm when the Austrian ski athlete Stephanie Venier sensationally won the gold medal in the Super-G of the Alpine World Ski World Championships. The 27-year-old prevailed against the highly favorite competitors in front of 14,500 cheering spectators. According to Krone she left the silver medalist Federica Brignone from Italy by just 0.10 seconds.
