14 January 2024 at 11:48 Mowinckel fought back – but missed the podium Ragnhild Mowinckel has struggled a lot this season, but drove into the clear best position of the season at Sunday’s super-G in Zauchensee. – It is so incredibly delicious. It has been tough, says Mowinckel to news. The 31-year-old thus got a long-awaited recovery after Saturday, where Mowinckel stood crying in the finish area when team-mate Kajsa Vickhoff Lie fell in the descent in Austria. From starting number ten, Mowinckel drove into the lead with the narrowest possible margin, one hundredth ahead of then leader Michelle Gisin. – She hardly believes what she sees, Ragnhild Mowinckel, who has had a lead-heavy season. She sees green numbers for almost the first time this season, said news’s commentator Carl Andreas Wold when Mowinckel finished. – We see how much this means to her, added news expert Nina Haver-Løseth. After the unfortunate disqualification in Sölden in November, the 31-year-old had 9th place as his best result before Sunday’s competition. – This was a chance where I just had to dare to go for it. It has been tough to get there and there has been a lot of uncertainty. I thought I had to pull myself together and really go for it. The worst thing is to reach the finish line and feel that you could have done more, says Mowinckel to news. However, Mowinckel’s lead on Sunday did not last long. Austrian Cornelia Hütter drove brilliantly from start to finish and finished nine hundredths ahead of Mowinckel. Hütter’s lead lasted for barely a minute, before Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami drove into the lead. The podium was lost for Mowinckel when Mirjam Puchner drove in eight hundredths ahead of the Moldensen and pushed her down to 4th place. – I would have wished Ragnhild the podium, but being in the top five is a personal victory for her, says Løseth. Vickhoff Lie started, despite Saturday’s fall, but she struggled more than her teammate Mowinckel on Sunday, and is currently in 11th place. As a result, she was unable to follow up on Friday’s 2nd place in the super-G. PS: The race is still ongoing.
