Hütter fights for the medal: Ski World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm exciting!

Cornelia Hütter won the bronze medal on Wednesday at the Super-G of the Ski World Championship in Courchevel/Meribel and impressively underpinned its medal mission. "I don't need to talk that out, I fight every day to be among the favorites," said the Styrian, who was able to win bronze in the Super-G in 2023. With this new medal, she not only strengthened her own career, but also the hopes of the Austrian team. Marta Bassino from Italy grabbed the gold while the US skiistar Mikaela Shiffrin won silver oe24.at reported.

After a solid performance, Hütter, Ex Aquo with the Norwegian Kajsa Vickhoff, made it onto the podium only 0.33 seconds behind the winner. Thomas Trinker, head of the ÖSV racing, had already had high expectations of his strong team, which also includes Hütter, Mirjam Puchner, Ramona Siebenhofer and Tamara Tippler. "We have a very strong team, especially in the speed disciplines," said Trinker. Nevertheless, the other Austrian starters did not manage to reach the top 15, as on meinzirk.at mentioned.

A new start on gold

Hütter, who went into the race with the self-confidence of her last successes in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, knows that she has the necessary experience to survive in this emotional competition. "Of course it would be cool if all good things were three and my third World Cup would still be the gift," she added and looks optimistically at the upcoming races. The next chance of a medal comes with the departure on Saturday and the team combination on Tuesday. While she is preparing for the competition, Hütter remains determined to increase her performance and defend the precious metal at home.
