After claiming her first Alpine Ski World Cup Victory in the Downhill in Kvitfjell Emma Aicher won her first Super-G in a shortened racecourse in La Thuile today. The 21-year-old all-rounder German skier finished ahead of the Italian duo of Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone. Before today Aicher's best result in the Super-G was a 5th place in Kvitfjell in 2023.
It was Germany's first women's Super-G win in the World Cup since March 2019, when Viktoria Rebensburg won in Soldeu.
"I'm happy with my skiing and how I’ve improved over the last few weeks. It was a nice course, it didn’t really have any difficulties. It was fun to ski. I was a bit lucky with the bib. It's dark and soft and slow now, so that was a big help today," Aicher said.
With two Super-G races remaining entering Thursday, Lara Gut-Behrami (515) leads Federica Brignone (470) by 45 points, with Sofia Goggia (386) in third, 84 points behind her teammate.
