Vrouwen Super G San Secario

American Lindsey Kildow beat in-form Austrian Renate Goetschl to win a women's World Cup super-G race on Sunday. Kildow's third win of the season, and her first in super-G, came with a superb run on the Fraiteve course used for last year's Winter Olympics. Her time of one minute 30.06 seconds was 0.17 seconds ahead of overall Cup leader Goetschl, who won both Friday's super-G and Saturday's downhill here.

Austria's Christine Sponring had her second podium place in three days by finishing third, 0.29 seconds behind Kildow, in the final women's race before the world championships. Kildow, whose Olympics were marred by a bad training crash, has had a patchy season with her seven podium places before Sunday matched by as many failures to finish races. Goetschl, who leads the super-G standings as well as the overall, notched up the 100th podium place of her career.

Her hopes of a third race win in as many days were dashed when she caught her left arm on a gate pole midway down the course. Goetschl leads the overall standings with 1,001 points, 85 ahead of team mate Marlies Schild, who finished just outside the points places on Sunday. In the super-G competition, she has a lead of 130 points over Kildow with two races, carrying 200 points, to come.
