Lindsey produced a stunning and tactically perfect Super-G run in St. Moritz today and won in 1:02:71! Slovenia’s Tina Maze was runner up in 0.37 seconds and Lindsey’s compatriot Julia Mancuso finished third, 1.01 seconds behind. It was Lindsey’s 20th Super G podium spot in her career and her 57th World Cup victory.
After the race Lindsey said “I was definitely disappointed after yesterday’s race. I skied too conservatively in the Super G and didn’t really have anything going on in slalom. Today I came out charging, I knew that it was going to be really difficult to win. The other girls are skiing so well, Tina and Julia and Maria. It has been a tight field in Super G. I’m definitely going to have to fight hard. The way Tina has been skiing is really great for the sport. I have a lot of respect for her and she is obviously skiing well in all five events. I’m only skiing well at the moment in Downhill and Super G.” (source: www.ussa.org).
At yesterday’s Super Combined Lindsey was fourth in the Super G portion but then skied out in the Slalom and did not finish. The women’s races will continue tomorrow with a Giant Slalom.
