After Thursday's disappointing first World Championship appearance in the Super-G, the Swiss women took it easy in the third downhill training session. Lara Gut-Behrami was the best of the quartet in 7th place. The 33-year-old from Ticino lost 1.13 seconds to the fastest in training, Ester Ledecka from the Czech Republic.
Like Gut-Behrami, Corinne Suter (12th) also built in a margin. Malorie Blanc improved noticeably compared to the second training run and finished directly ahead of Suter. Priska Ming-Nufer lost only slightly more time and finished in 14th place.
Mirjam Puchner and Emma Aicher have moved into position. The Austrian, who set a clear best time in the second training run, slowed down after the finish jump, as did the young German, who lined up even earlier. They finished second and third, 0.22 and 0.43 seconds behind respectively.
With the exception of Federica Brignone, the podium racers from Thursday saved energy. The Italian lost just under half a second to the fastest in training. The newly crowned super-G world champion Stephanie Venier used the third practice run as a faster inspection and missed a gate before the finish.
Sofia Goggia, one of the favorites for the World Championship title, fell after a jump in the lower part of the course. However, she then skied to the finish on her own and without treatment.
