the only way Italian Federica Brignone could overtake Lara Gut-Behrami and win the GS title was to win and have Gut-Behrami finish outside the top 15. Delivering fantastic skiing, Brignone attacked both runs at her limit and won the race by an amazing (+1.36). For the fourth time this season, she became the oldest woman to win. However, because Gut-Behrami finished tenth, Brignone fell 21 points short of earning her second World Cup GS title.

Sunday, March 17th: Saalbach Austria Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami will try to lock up the season GS title.
