2019 Alpine Skiing World Cup – Women's super-G
The women's super-G in the 2019 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved 6 events, including the finals in Soldeu, Andorra. Originally, the season had been planned to hold 8 events, but the two races scheduled in Sochi, Russia were cancelled due to continuing heavy snowfall.[1] Mikaela Shiffrin from the United States generally specialized in the technical disciplines (slalom and giant slalom), not in the speed disciplines (downhill and super-G), but she jumped out to an early lead in Super-G by winning both of the first two races.[2] Ultimately, Shiffrin only entered four of the six races held in the discipline (and had not entered the two cancelled races planned for Sochi), but her results in the completed races – 3 victories and a tie for fourth – were sufficient to win the discipline crystal globe for the season over two-time defending champion Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein (who needed to win the finals but did not finish).[3] The win was Shiffrin's tenth World Cup titles, but her first in a speed discipline.[3] The season was interrupted by the 2019 World Ski Championships, which were held from 4–17 February in Åre, Sweden. The women's super-G was held on 5 February (and was also won by Shiffrin).[4] Standings
