VIDEO: Race favorite Lara Gut-Behrami crashes through the fence in St. Moritz

In the women’s super G in St. Moritz Sunday, windy conditions proved tough for Lara Gut-Behrami, the world champion in super-G who won on the same venue a day earlier.

The Swiss star went too fast on a direct line approaching a sharp left-hand turn she was unlikely to make. She was unbalanced by the terrain and went sideways standing upright into and through the safety fences.

Gut-Behrami sat still on the snow awaiting attention before she skied down to the finish area. She was later filmed in the finish area limping to congratulate Brignone in the leader’s chair.

The Swiss team said Gut-Behrami was sore but not seriously injured.
