CRANS MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) – Ilka Stuhec is on course for a third successive podium in Crans Montana as she attempts to eat further into Mikaela Shiffrin’s lead in the overall standings on Sunday.
Stuhec, who was runner-up in the Alpine combined on Friday and won Saturday’s super-G, is in second position after the super-G portion of another combined race.
The Slovenian is 0.36 behind Sofia Goggia of Italy. Canada’s Marie-Michele Gagnon is third, 0.59 behind Goggia.
Shiffrin is seventh, 1.30 behind Goggia but the United States skier is a slalom specialist.
Entering this weekend’s races in Crans Montana, Shiffrin held more than a 400-point lead in the standings over Goggia, who was her closest active challenger. Defending overall champion Lara Gut, in second place, is out injured.
