Gut-Behrami

Approaching her first World Cup race in nearly six years, Lindsey Vonn is back in her happy place. The 40-year-old feels stronger and better prepared to race than ever before.

Prior to the races on the Rettenbach Glacier course, the star-studded quintuplet of Lara Gut-Behrami (SUI), Manuel Feller (AUT), Conny Huetter (AUT), Mikaela Shiffrin (USA), and Marco Odermatt (SUI), gathered for an innovative new event hosted by FIS.

Italy's Marta Bassino wins her career's first downhill. She has won six giant slaloms but has never been victorious in a different discipline. She was the third to start and crossed with a massive (+1.80) lead. She has long been one of the world's best GS skiers. However, she has recently shown world-class downhill speed. Today, she continued that trend. She skied with strength, balance, and precision, leaving no doubt who was the best in Saturday's race.
