Goggia channels emotion to win Sunday’s Super G

The race was put on hold briefly after Robinson’s run as the wind wreaked havoc with an inflatable cheese alongside the track.

When the action resumed, the rest of the top seeds enjoyed slightly better light, but they had to contend with more wind on the lower part of the course.

Vonn managed those changing conditions the best with bib No.13, making her fourth podium in five speed races in the last 10 days to continue her spectacular comeback.

Like Goggia, Vonn didn’t make any major errors as she did on Saturday, but took a different line in and out of the jump at the top of the course to put her behind the pace, and she was forced to play catch-up the rest of the way.

“I didn’t quite have enough direction on the first jump,” she said. “I thought I was fine but I think it cost me some time. After that, I skied well.”

She did indeed, making up time with the fastest mid-section of the race and then being the only top-10 finisher to come close to Goggia’s leading split in the crucial, wind-affected fourth sector.
