Snowfall delayed skiing worlds: tension in Sun Valley rises!

Sun Valley, Idaho, USA - After nighttime snowfalls in Sun Valley, Idaho, the departures of the Alpinski World Cup final were postponed to Saturday. The men compete at 9:30 p.m. CET, while women's race is scheduled for 10.30 p.m. These changes were officially announced at 6 p.m. and the race will be started under Super-G conditions, as the FIS confirmed. The starting position of the participants is particularly exciting: In training, Daniel Hemetsberger from Upper Austria achieved the excellent third place, only 0.25 seconds behind the Swiss Alexis Monney, who took first place.

Federica Brignone clearly leads the overall ranking for women, followed by the Styrian basket defender Cornelia Hütter with 16 points behind. These two athletes of the highest level are the focus, because Hütter has the chance to win the small crystal ball again for the best departure of the 2024/25 season if she wins the race while Brignone does not end up on the podium. Brignone's compatriot, Sofia Goggia, also has opportunities in the competition for the downhill ball, but is 34 points behind Brignone.

race full of excitement

The descent of the women, which was originally supposed to start at 7.30 p.m., now starts at 10 p.m. The tension among the athletes remains high because Lara Gut-Behrami keeps the chance of a podium, even if she can no longer fight for the ball. Participants such as Corinne Suter and Malorie Blanc from Switzerland also have weight.
