Lara Gut wins Lake Louise super-G

LAKE LOUISE - Switzerland’s Lara Gut won a women’s alpine World Cup super-G on Sunday as American Lindsey Vonn’s injury comeback gathered steam. Gut clocked 1min 22.86sec to edge Liechtenstein’s Tina Weirather by just 0.03sec. Austrian Anna Fenninger was third, 0.33sec behind the winner. Vonn, who returned to racing this week after a 10-month injury absence, improved again in her third start in as many days. She was 40th in Friday’s downhill, 11th in Saturday’s downhill and fifth on Sunday. “I’m really happy with my skiing. It’s getting better everyday,” said Vonn. “I know now that I can win and be on the podium. That gives me confidence and that was my goal this weekend.” To be honest I don’t know yet what races I am going to do in Europe. My focus is on the Olympics.”–AFP
