Lindsey finished 3rd in today’s FIS World Cup Super-G in Bansko/BUL. She clocked a time of 1:14.87, 0.28 behind the winner Anna Fenninger from Austria, Slovenian’s Tina Maze finished second. This was Lindsey’s 110th World Cup podium in her career.
After a cloudy and foggy weekend in Bansko, which led to the postponement of the race on Friday (Feb. 27) and the cancellation of the race of Saturday (Feb. 28), the weather finally relented and skiing conditions were perfect for today’s (Mar. 2nd) Super-G.
Lindsey got in the race with bib 20, and she attacked right away. She was a bit unstable on top-almost horizontal on the snow at one point in the top section- but worked to close the half-second gap in the middle of the course. “After a bad day, comes a good day,” Lindsey said smiling. “I am happy with my run. I made some mistakes on the top part, but I skied well on the bottom and made up some time. The snow was really good today, they did a great job with the course.”
This third place in Bansko tied Lindsey with Renate Goetschl of Austria in second on the list of all-time podium finishes with 110. She needs only three more to overtake Annemarie Moser-Proell as the all-time leader!!
The ladies’ FIS World Cup continues in Garmisch-Partenkirchen/GER, with a Downhill on Saturday (Mar. 7) and a Super-G on Sunday (Mar. 8).
