Brignone gets the ball: Hütter has to fight hard in the World Cup!
Sun Valley, USA - in Sun Valley, USA, the weather tragically influenced the Alpine Ski World Cup. The women's departure scheduled for Saturday had to be canceled due to violent nightly snowfalls and the wind gusts. This had a direct impact on the overall ranking, since the regulations stated that in a canceled race it cannot be made up for, such as the oönachrichten reported. The Italian skier Federica Brignone secured the small crystal ball and the overall World Cup prematurely, while the Austrian defending champion Cornelia Hütter left empty and was 16 points behind Brignone.
The painful loss for Hütter
Hütter, who had already celebrated several successes in her career, said after the cancellation: "It hurts at the moment". With two victories in Beaver Creek and Kvitfjell as well as a third place in the season, she had hopes for the new winning ball to win again. But the weather conditions made a showdown impossible, which she felt as a "bitter", but she tried to put the situation into perspective.
The season was also a disaster for the Austrian men. According to the Krone , this remains for the first time in the history of the ski world cup for a season without a podium for the Austrian downlords. Marco Odermatt from Switzerland was able to win the descent ball this season with 605 points, followed by his compatriot Franjo von Allmen. The cancellation of the decisive races illustrates the dominance of Odermatt, which has shown again with this yield why he is considered one of the best drivers.| Details | |
