Lara Gut-Behrami wins WC super-G, mum on 2026 Olympics

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy -- Olympic champion Lara Gut-Behrami is halfway to Lindsey Vonn's Cortina record after claiming a World Cup super-G on Sunday for her sixth career victory on the Olympia delle Tofane course -- which again was the site of multiple crashes.

But Gut-Behrami, 32, can't say for sure whether she will still be competing in two years at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

In a race when many of the top favorites struggled with a tricky course, Gut-Behrami edged Stephanie Venier, Friday's downhill winner, by 0.21 seconds. Romane Miradoli finished third, 0.41 behind.

Asked if she will be back at Cortina next year, Gut-Behrami responded only, "We'll see."

A day earlier, Gut-Behrami said she planned to compete through next season's world championships in Saalbach, Austria.

It was Gut-Behrami's fourth World Cup win in Cortina, to go with her two gold medals at the 2021 world championships at the Italian resort.

Vonn won 12 World Cup races in Cortina -- six downhills and six super-Gs.

After Mikaela Shiffrin crashed but avoided major injury Friday and Olympic downhill champion Corinne Suter and Swiss teammate Joana Haehlen had season-ending injuries over the weekend, there was another serious crash involving Canadian racer Valerie Grenier, who finished third Friday.

Alpine Canada did not immediately provide injury details for Grenier, who was taken off the course by toboggan after receiving lengthy medical treatment.

Gut-Behrami, who earned her 41st World Cup victory, moved within 195 points of Shiffrin in the overall standings, with the American still out of action at least through Tuesday.
