Gut-Behrami admits mistakes: “I may not have chosen the best words”

It’s been two weeks since Pauli Gut said about his daughter Lara Gut-Behrami: “Lara doesn’t read anything about herself.” However, the woman from Ticino has also noticed that Marius Robyr, the head of the OC for the World Cup races in Crans-Montana USA, has declared the 2021 dispute with Gut-Behrami over. “Lara did not behave correctly at the time – I still believe that. But I also made a mistake. But that’s over for me.”

He no longer has any problems with Lara and not only wants to greet her, but also congratulate her on her great successes this winter.

What is it about? Three years ago, Gut-Behrami described the condition of the track as ‘dégeulase’, ie disgusting. This rubbed Robyr the wrong way, he exploded and demanded an apology. This didn’t exist. “Maybe I didn’t choose the best words,” she admits. But there was more written than what was behind it.

Weather god on Gut-Behrami’s side?

This seems to put the dispute aside at the time. This puts the focus on the most important question in sport: who will win the World Cup? Gut-Behrami has little interest in the question, “even though I understand that it is a big topic in the media.” The fact is: she has a five-point lead over Mikaela Shiffrin (28, USA) in the battle for the big crystal ball.

In Crans-Montana, Gut-Behrami has a great opportunity to turn the mini into a mega lead. As long as Peter joins in. Departure on Friday in particular is at risk due to the high temperatures. If all three races are held, Gut-Behrami can score 300 points at best. Despite their top form, that is unlikely.

“You can always dream, but…”

So how many will there be? Gut-Behrami has already raced in Crans-Montana eleven times and won three times – she collected an average of 46 points per race. If she maintains this figure, she would travel home with a 142-point lead over Shiffrin on Sunday evening.

That would be a good buffer – especially as it remains uncertain when and in what condition Shiffrin will return after her knee injury. Gut-Behrami: “The crystal balls will only be available during the World Cup finals in March, not now. You can always dream, but that’s of no use to me on the slopes. The key is to drive fast and above all stay healthy.”
