Lara Gut-Behrami gives the answer on the slopes. Again and again. She was once asked when she would finally win the overall World Championship. She did this in 2016. Then everyone wanted to know: what about the world title? Gut-Behrami kept his cool and won gold twice in 2021. What about the lack of an Olympic victory? Gut-Behrami closed the last gap in her palms in 2022.
Anyone who thought she would retire after this was wrong. At 32 years of age, she is having the best season of her life. Gut-Berami is no longer needed, she can do it. And enjoy it more than ever.
It’s entirely possible she’ll accumulate four crystal balls this winter. My theory: those who compete in giant slalom mean more to her than anyone else. Because she never won it? No. Rather, this discipline is a matter of the heart for her. “If I win in Saalbach, I will tell you if your theory is correct,” she said with a smile at the end.
In any case: the most prestigious is the large crystal ball. And almost everything suggests that Ski Switzerland will be able to celebrate both trophies in one winter (Valais and Zürbriggen) for the first time since 1987. If Marco Odermatt and Gut-Behrami remain healthy, it would take a lot of imagination to imagine otherwise.
