The 28-year-old Swiss, Olympic downhill champion in Beijing in February, could savor this first success this season, the 5th in the World Cup.

The one who won the small crystal globes in the downhill and the super-G in 2020 was only two hundredths ahead of the Austrian Cornelia Huetter, who finished 3rd in the downhill on Friday.

The Norwegian Ragnhild Mowinckel, double Olympic silver medalist in 2018, completed the podium at 16 hundredths.

Encouraging for the one who suffered serious knee injuries that caused her to miss the entire 2019-20 season.

Downhill world champion in 2021, Suter ends her weekend in Alberta in style, after having had the frustration of failing, for four hundredths, in second place in the first downhill on Friday, then after her third place in the second descent on Saturday.

Two events won by the queen of the specialty, Sofia Goggia, much less imperial on this Sunday super-G that she finished in 5th position, 36 hundredths from Suter, overtaken in 4th place by the Austrian Mirjam Puchner.

The Italian paid a gap over two gates in her race.

She thus fails to achieve the same feat as last year in the Canadian Rockies, when she crushed the competition with three victories in as many races (two downhills and a super-G).

Goggia is still getting closer, to 2nd place in the general classification, 20 points behind the queen of skiing, the American Mikaela Shiffrin, who skipped this weekend to prepare for the giant and slalom scheduled for the weekend. -next end in Sestriere (Italy).

Suter is 4th at 25 units.

On the French side, Romane Miradoli ranked 13th, Tessa Worley 17th and Laura Gauché did not finish her race.
