Lara Gut-Behrami, who has already won a World Cup Super-G three times on the Tofana slope, lost 58 hundredths to Brignone, while Corinne Suter, who started with the number 1, lost just over a second. The day before in the downhill, the two had narrowly missed out on a place in the top three.
Gut-Behrami secured second place in a super-G for the third time this winter, having already achieved the same in Beaver Creek, Colorado, and in St. Moritz in December. The Ticino native has yet to win this season.
Corinne Suter's last podium finish was some time ago. The year before last, in March, she also finished third in the downhill in Kvitfjell in Norway. She has now taken another step back in Cortina d'Ampezzo - on the slope where she has been plagued by injuries over the past two years. Two years ago, she suffered a concussion in a crash on the first of two downhill runs, and twelve months ago, a cruciate ligament rupture also on the first downhill meant the premature end of her season.
The other Swiss women who have started so far are well behind in the intermediate rankings. Michelle Gisin, Joana Hählen and Jasmina Suter lost over two and a half seconds on the best time. Priska Ming-Nufer was eliminated.
