Ilka Stuhec of Slovenia, crowned downhill world champion just two weeks ago, won the women's Super-G at Crans-Montana on Saturday for her sixth World Cup win of the season. Stuhec clocked 1min 21.78sec to edge Italian Elena Curtoni by 0.50sec with Austria's Stephanie Venier 1.09sec back.
Second in Friday's combined event behind Federica Brignone of Italy, Stuhec made the most of the absence of Lara Gut, out for the season with a knee injury, and American speed queen Lindsey Vonn's failure to finish, to mount a serious challenge for World Cup leadership in the discipline.
