Austria's ski ladies in the final sprint: Who conquers the crystal ball?

in the Aostatal, where the women in the Ski World Cup were to compete in the Super-G, the departure training was canceled due to adverse weather conditions. The cancellation not only affects the Austrian athletes who present themselves qualitatively, but also the opportunity for some of them to collect points in the Discipline World Cup. According to vienna.at , the conditions were too dangerous for a safe competition. For the Austrian Cornelia Hütter, who is currently fighting 55 points behind the leadership in the Super-G classification, this is a disappointment, but she also expressed hope for more successful results in the remaining races of the season.

The women in the alpine ski will now fight for the last points at the last competition location in Sun Valley, Idaho. For Hütter and Stephanie Venier, it is the crucial moment to prove their achievements of the season. Venier, who recently won gold in the Super-G at the World Cup in Saalbach, and Hütter hope for a brilliant end to the season. As a reminder: this season is characterized by a shift in the races after a competition in St. Moritz was due to bad weather and instead was set in La Thuile as a second Super-G race, like Wikipedia reported.

The athletes have great hopes to call up their best performances in the last competition. Hütter, who most recently missed the first places in Kvitfjell, is motivated: "I still have three Super-G races and would like to master them without errors". Julia Scheib will also try to gain a foothold in the Super-G. Although their expectations for La Thuile are steamed, their goal remains to be able to establish themselves in the long term among the best athletes.

The overall World Cup could already be decided in the far northwest of Italy if the Italian Federica Brignone is out of the event with a lead of over 300 points on Lara Gut-Behrami. The big goal for many athletes remains the crystal ball, which is awarded for the overall victory at the end of the season.
