Austrian skier Stephanie Venier secured her first-ever victory in the women's World Cup super-G event held at Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Venier triumphed in a closely contested race on the Mont Lachaux course, edging out Italian racers Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino by mere fractions of a second.

Venier's stellar performance marked her third career win, with previous victories coming in downhill events in Germany in 2019 and Italy just last month. Following a couple of disappointing results in recent downhill races, Venier's success in the super-G provided a much-needed boost, expressing her satisfaction with her skiing on the day.
