2017 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's Super-G
The women's super-G in the 2017 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved seven events, including the season final in Aspen, Colorado (USA). Defending discipline (and overall) champion Lara Gut from Switzerland got off to a great start by winning the first three races, but she suffered a season-ending injury in early February, which led to a tight battle between the two top contenders remaining: Slovenia's Ilka Štuhec and Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather. With just the season finals in Aspen remaining, Štuhec, who had won two races in the discipline and won the season title in the downhill the day before the race, held a 15-point lead over Weirather, but Weirather nipped Štuhec by 0.35 seconds in the finals, giving her the season title by 5 points. Weirather thus became a second-generation World Cup discipline champion, as her father Harti Weirather was World Cup downhill discipline champion in 1981 and her mother Hanni Wenzel won the overall World Cup championship twice (1978, '8 ...

Super-G
Super giant slalom, or super-G, is a racing discipline of alpine skiing. Along with the faster downhill, it is regarded as a "speed" event, in contrast to the technical events giant slalom and slalom. It debuted as an official World Cup event during the 1983 season and was added to the official schedule of the World Championships in 1987 and the Winter Olympics in 1988. Much like downhill, a super-G course consists of widely set gates that racers must pass through. The course is set so that skiers must turn more than in downhill, though the speeds are still much higher than in giant slalom (hence the name). Each athlete only has one run to clock the best time. In the Olympics, super-G courses are usually set on the same slopes as the downhill, but with a lower starting point. History Super-G was run as a World Cup test event during the 1982 season, with two men's races and a women's race that did not count in the season standings. Approved by the International Ski Federa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1979–80 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
The 14th World Cup season began in December 1979 in France and concluded in March 1980 in Austria. Andreas Wenzel of Liechtenstein edged out Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden for the men's overall title. Wenzel's older sister, Hanni Wenzel, won the women's overall title for the second time, making them the first sibling combination to both win the overall World Cup title (as of 2017, joined only by Janica and Ivica Kostelić from Croatia) and the only one to win in the same year. The World Cup race scoring system was revised again, the third different system used in less than a year. The new system was a "Top 15" points system (ranging from 25 points for first, 20 for second, 15 for third, 12 for fourth, and 1 point less for each subsequent position down to 1 point for 15th). This system remained in effect through 1991. The season championship for the "Combined" discipline also returned this year, for the first time since 1976. A break in the schedule in February was for the 1980 Wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
