Viktoria Rebensburg also knows how to be "giant" in super-G: the German won Sunday the Lake Louise race, the first of the discipline this season, in front of the surprising Italian Nicol Delago and the Swiss Corinne Suter, the star Mikaela Shiffrin has she, disappointed.
Rebensburg, 30, from Kreuth, Bavaria, has signed the 18th victory of her career in the World Cup.
Giant specialist where she has 14 victories in the competition and a gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, the German gets her 4th success on this discipline of speed, the first one in Alberta.
His last World Cup victory was in March in Soldeu, Andorra, and it was already in super-G. Proof that the German, triple winner of the small Crystal Globe giant (2011, 2012, 2018), is gaining versatility.
On the Lake Louise track, Nicol Delago, starting with the number 31, surprised by finishing second at 35 / 100th, signing her second podium after the Val Gardena descent in 2018. Corinne Suter was third, confirming her second place won on the first run, Friday.
On the French side, Romane Miradoli ranked 17th, Laura Left 26th, Jennifer Piot 31st.
The Rebensburg victory also rewards her in the overall standings, with 235 points to Queen Mikaela Shiffrin's second runner-up (475), who finished at a disappointing 10th place after a foul in the final stretch.
The American star, the day after a convincing second place in the second run on the program of the Canadian station, has not confirmed his good intentions. And she will have to wait to win a 63rd World Cup victory and overtake the Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll.
Maybe in Courchevel, where will be the third giant of the season on December 17th?
