The women will compete tomorrow in the second super-G of the season. During the first St Moritz day of super-G, Sofia Goggia of Italy achieved gold by a considerable (-0.95). Goggia did not disappoint with her all-out run and is ready for the round two super-G. Goggia also delivered a silver-medal downhill run today, giving her even more confidence for the final day of racing on the Corviglia track.

Goggia’s teammate Elena Curtoni was barely (+0.12) behind the St Moritz SG winning time of Shiffrin’s last season. Unfortunately, in Friday’s super-G, she had a hard crash after showing speed in the first two sectors of the course. She went under examination at the “Gut Klinic” of the Helvetic resort, where they found a compound bone fracture of the sacrum. Curtoni will be re-evaluated after a few weeks of rest to determine when she can resume competing.

Despite Curtoni’s unfortunate St. Moritz outcome, the Italian team was on fire in the super-G, with three women in the top 10 during the first day. Along with Goggia’s win, Federica Brignone finished in 5th and Marta Bassino in 7th place. Not to mention, Goggia and Brignone rounded out the podium today in downhill with the silver and bronze medals. 

Mikaela Shiffrin was bumped off the super-G podium by Lara Gut-Behrami, who came through the finish just six-hundredths of a second faster. Shiffrin was still happy with her first day of speed. She stated, “I am happy with it. I planned to take a really aggressive approach and I did that in some spots, maybe a little bit too aggressive, but it’s the first real run super-G that I had actually since April…” 

Shiffrin took her positive attitude from her first run of speed and brought it to the downhill today. She reigned victory in the downhill with an incredibly confident run. She reflected, “Some of the things I thought I couldn’t do from yesterday could also apply for today’s race. It was a bit more technical things actually, so I tried to use that as motivation for today.”

North Americans

The first day of super-G was excellent for North American speed women, with four in the top 30. Mikaela Shiffrin raced into 4th, Valérie Grenier 14th, Keely Cashman 24th, and Lauren Macuga scored her first super-G points, finishing in 30th. 

Macuga is eager to take the confidence she gained from her top-30 finish into this next super-G day. She stated, “I am so excited because I finally got my groove back, I think. During the downhill training runs I was all over the place, but I think getting back into the race I felt like I know how to race. I just need to pull it out and put it out there.” 

Cashman was thrilled with her first day of super-G as she stated that she “had a really hard time with super-G last season.” Without a doubt, she is determined to make this season different and use the positive momentum to her advantage tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Cashman could not run downhill because of the drastic change in weather conditions. She was three athletes away from her start when the jury ended the race. Hopefully, this will bring her more time to prepare for tomorrow and have fresh legs for the dynamic course.  

The strong super-G finish from Valérie Grenier adds to her goal of improving her World Cup rank. Her confidence continues to grow on the circuit. She stated, “Over the years, I’ve become more consistent, and I’m making fewer errors. Consistency is so important and it helps to build confidence.” Grenier aims to put down another top-15 run tomorrow. 

The speed women have had time on the track and are eager for another shot at the World Cup super-G! The final day of racing in St. Moritz is at 1:30 am PST, 2:30 MST and 4:30 am EST.
