Due to snowfall, rain, and fog, both Downhill training runs at Kvitfjell, Norway, in the lead-up to the World Cup race on Saturday, March 2, had to be canceled. The canceled Downhill race will be replaced with a Super-G event. Super-G events do not require training runs, so the decision was made to change the format. This decision was also made, since two Super-G races from last weekend in Val di Fassa, Italy, had to be canceled due to heavy snowfall. Saturday’s Super-G event will serve as a replacement race for one of the two canceled Italian Super-G events.
These two Super-G races in Kvitfjell will be the last two Super-G races of the season before the World Cup Finals in Saalbach, Austria, at the end of March.
The ’23/’24 winter has seen a total of five Super-G races after which Switzerland’s Lara Gut-Behrami is in the lead with 360 points. Breathing down her neck is Austria’s Cornelia Hütter with 355 points and still with a chance to claim the Super-G Crystal Globe is Italy’s Federica Brignone with 326 points. First place is awarded with 100 points, second place with 80, and third place with 60 points, so anything is still possible at this point.
