Gut-Behrami wins Super-G in Garmisch, Vonn 13th
Swiss Olympic champion Lara Gut-Behrami on Sunday won the World Cup super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, while Lindsey Vonn finished 13th as she continues her comeback.
In wet, slushy conditions which led to a short delay to the start the 33-year-old Gut-Behrami picked up her first win of the winter.
Gut-Behrami, who won gold in the event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, finished 0.35 seconds ahead of Norwegian Kajsa Vickhoff Lie.
Italian veteran Federica Brignone, who won Saturday's downhill in Garmisch, finished a further three hundredths of a second back in third.
American Vonn, who returned to the slopes in December almost six years after announcing her retirement from the sport, finished 1.40s behind Gut-Behrami.
It was a better showing from the 40-year-old, who failed to finish in the downhill 24 hours earlier.
Vonn said after Saturday's race she was trying to be patient in her comeback, with her sights set on hitting peak form in 2026 ahead of the Olympics in Milan.
