Lara Gut-Behrami let out a brief scream of joy after crossing the finish, then nodded her head moments later. The Swiss skier won her second World Cup downhill in two days at Val di Fassa on Saturday to maintain her chance of winning the discipline title this season. Gut-Behrami led Corinne Suter, the downhill world champion, by 0.32 seconds for a Swiss 1-2 finish. Kira Weidle of Germany finished 0.68 behind in third, as the podium included the same three skiers who won the medals at the world championships downhill at Cortina d’Ampezzo, two weeks ago. “It’s nice I can improve from one day to another,” said Gut-Behrami, adding that her run was better that Friday’s. “I am happy that I could do better what I didn’t do well yesterday,” she said. Gut-Behrami won gold in super-G and giant slalom as well as bronze in downhill at the worlds, and she drew praise from Suter for her recent successes. “Lara can just do what she wants, everything works out super for her,” Suter said. Gut-Behrami and Suter are the only racers left who can overtake discipline leader Sofia Goggia.
