LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) — Corinne Suter earned his first win at Lake Louise by winning a World Cup super-G race on Sunday, while Sofia Goggia’s the winning streak on the mountains ended with a fifth-place finish.
Suter, a 28-year-old Swiss who won the downhill gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in February, covered the course in 1 minute, 20.75 seconds. She edged out Austria’s Cornelia Huetter by just 0.02 seconds. Huetter was third in the descent on Friday.
Suter had taken five previous podium finishes at Lake Louise, including second on Friday and third on Saturday, but had never managed to climb to the top step in the Canadian sprint spot until now.
Norway’s Ragnhild Mowinckel was third in 1:20.91 on a day when the temperature was around 10 degrees Fahrenheit (minus -12 Celsius).
Mirjam Puchner was next Sunday, followed by Goggia, the 30-year-old Italian who won downhill gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and silver at this year’s Games. Goggia won a pair of downhills at Lake Louise on Friday and Saturday, a year after going 3-for-3 at the site with wins on two downhills plus a super-G.
Breezy Johnson was the top finisher for the USA on Sunday in 23rd place, one spot ahead of her teammate Bella Wright.
American star Mikaela Shiffrin sat out all three races at Lake Louise, opting to spend more time training for upcoming technical events.
