Lara Gut-Behrami wins tricky World Cup super-G

ST. ANTON, Austria (AP) — It took the veteran skills of Lara Gut-Behrami to win a tricky World Cup super-G on Sunday.

Even Gut-Behrami veered off the best racing line before making two gates on a fast, twisting course as she finished 0.16 ahead of Marta Bassino of Italy. World Cup super-G champion Corinne Suter was third, trailing her Switzerland teammate by 0.20.

Racing early with the No. 5 bib, Gut-Behrami took a route few could follow — 11 of the first 25 top-ranked starters failed to complete the course.

They included Sofia Goggia, the winner of Saturday’s downhill, who lasted barely 10 seconds before skiing out.
