The silver is Shiffrin’s 12th medal in 15 career world championship races, giving her outright second place on the all-time list for the most medals won by a woman at the worlds, trailing only German skier Christl Cranz, who won 15 in the 1930s. “There was one moment where I thought I lost everything but then I could keep it rolling until the finish.” There are so many women so strong and so fast,” Shiffrin said. “I'm so happy with my run, and emotional, because I don't really feel like I should be winning a medal in super-G right now. Shiffrin, who won super-G gold in 2019 and bronze two years ago, led Bassino by three-tenths of a second at the second split but couldn’t match the Italian’s pace in the last part of the course and finished second, 0.11 seconds behind.Ĭornelia Huetter of Austria and Kajsa Vickhoff Lie of Norway tied for third, 0.33 seconds behind, to share the bronze medal.

I was really suffering watching all the other girls coming down. “Today I just did a great last part because I lost a lot of time in the first part. It is something I have to realize,” Bassino said. It’s my first win in super-G, and here at the world championships.
