Vonn also falls
Automatically saved draft
Scary moment at the women's super-G in Le Thuile! Cornelia Hütter crashed into the safety nets on her way to the best time. A little later, Lindsey Vonn also crashed.
How bitter is that? Conny Hütter started the race with bib number 12 and attacked the best time of race leader Emma Aicher. And how: In the upper section, the ÖSV skier completely overshadowed Aicher's fabulous run. The Styrian was well on course for victory before she lost her balance shortly before the final section and crashed. Hütter crashed into the safety nets and helpers were with her immediately.
After a few minutes of trepidation, she was able to get up again under her own power. She is unlikely to have suffered any serious injuries. Of course, the Styrian was annoyed at the finish.
"Everything is fine with my knees. I can feel my left shoulder a bit, but it hurts more that I was doing so well up to that point," said Hütter in the ORF interview
Great chance for the downhill globe
With one race to go, Hütter still has a chance of winning the small crystal globe in the Downhill World Cup. She is only 16 points behind Federica Brignone. With a victory in Sun Valley on March 22, Hütter could still crown her season - and thus probably make up for her crash in (today's) super-G.
Vonn also crashed
Lindsey Vonn was also hit with bib number 20. The US-American fell at the second gate and slid down the slope. The 40-year-old quickly got back on her feet and is also unlikely to have suffered any serious injuries.
