ST. MORITZ, Switzerland
Lara Gut of Switzerland won the season-long super-G title on Thursday.
Gut, who had already secured the overall title, finished second behind Tina Weirather at the World Cup finals to overtake the injured Lindsey Vonn for the crystal globe.
“It’s been a long season, a lot of ups and downs. I’m happy it’s almost over and that I was able to win again the super-G title,” Gut said. “It wasn’t as easy as two years ago. Then the season started so great and I was dominating in super-G. This time I was fighting for every point.”
Cornelia Huetter was third fastest to end the season fourth in the super-G standings, just behind Vonn, who was in St. Moritz after flying in to pick up her downhill title Wednesday.
Weirather recorded her second World Cup victory of the season. She won another super-G in La Thuile, Italy, on Feb. 21.
“It was a tough day, the course was not easy,” Weirather said. “You could see that from the first nine girls and even the guys having problems, it was not easy to risk a lot but still stay on course.”
Seven skiers did not finish on the tricky Corviglia course, including five of the first eight racers.
