Guta-Behrami has a winning gene

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

Lara Gut-Behrami extends her right hand up. Then she screams for joy. And he clenched his fists several times. When was the last time we saw them so jubilant? After crossing the finish line in Soldeu, she shows her joy with an openness rarely seen in the past.

Logic, some will say, as Gut-Behrami has just won her 37th World Cup and her fourth crystal ball in the discipline. Right. And the jubilation speaks even more. He reveals what lies behind the invisible protective shield she’s been building up over the years: a champion mentality.

Gut-Behrami loves skiing. Everyone does it at this level. It is a prerequisite to torture yourself for years in summer training, not give up after injuries and not quit begging after defeats. At the same time, athletes of their caliber define themselves through success. She won’t admit it and usually prefers to talk about the process, the joy and the feeling of skiing. However, in the end, she is driven by a thirst for victory and a desire to be the best. Places 2 and 3 are good, but not good enough.

Gut-Behrami wants to continue until 2025. It is unbelievable that she will relax in the last two years of her career. After all, she could, because she had already won everything that could be won a long time ago. But that’s not how it ticks. Will, ambition and the pursuit of excellence are part of their DNA. Without her, Gut-Behrami would never have come this far.
