St. Moritz, Switzerland, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Dec, 2019 ) :Reigning Olympic downhill champion Sofia Goggia pipped Italian teammate Federica Brignone by the smallest of margins to claim victory in the women's World Cup super-G at St Moritz on Saturday.
Goggia clocked 1min 12.96sec to edge Brignone by one-hundredth of a second, with American Mikaela Shiffrin rounding out the podium a further 0.12sec off the pace.
The result will consolidate Shiffrin's place atop the overall World Cup standings, but the 24-year-old is yet to win a speed event this season, having also netted a second place in the Lake Louise downhill.
Shiffrin, who won the world super-G title ahead of Goggia in Are in February, will have another chance to nail a 63rd World Cup victory and move into second place for individual race wins behind compatriot Lindsey Vonn in Sunday's parallel slalom.
