Swiss dominate St. Moritz SG, AC to be added on Sunday

Teammates Jasmine Flury and Michelle Gisin took advantage of unpredictable conditions during Saturday's super-G at St. Moritz to give the Swiss crowd a home victory and second-place finish, respectively. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein, who trains with the Swiss team, skied into third place, effectively producing a Swiss team sweep of the podium.

Wind gusts on the hill created natural challenges for racers without compromising the safety of the event. Several course holds ensued during times of stronger gusts, but ultimately the race was run to completion. Although fifth last weekend in the Lake Louise super-G, Flury had yet to stand on a World Cup podium before her victory on the day. Gisin also secured her first super-G podium finish despite skiing to a third-place finish in the Lake Louise downhill exactly one week earlier. The discipline standings leader, Weirather, maintained her position over the rest of the field with another consistent podium finish.

A Swiss pre-race favorite, Lara Gut crashed into the safety netting on the slope but was able to ski down on her own and hopes to race again on Sunday. Lindsey Vonn reportedly suffered a back injury mid-run but finished the race before collapsing in the finish area. She left the venue walking very cautiously and is currently on the start list for Sunday's super-G.

In a reversal of events from the previous day, the race organizer together with the National Ski Association Swiss Ski announced that they found a financial solution to the problem that prevented them from replacing the alpine combined race cancelled on Friday. Sunday's program includes a standalone super-G race beginning at 10:30 CET that will also be used in conjunction with a slalom run at 13:30 CET to score the alpine combined race.
