The women’s Super G had to be postponed one day because of snow. As in the downhill, the two favorites were Austrians Michaela Dorfmeister, gold medalist in that event, World Cup champion in 2005, and the 2003 World Champion in Super G, and Renate Götschl, Super G World Cup champion in 2004. Götschl skied poorly for her, placing only 26th. Dorfmeister was off 30th, last of the seeds, with the lead then held by Croatian Janica Kostelić, triple gold medalist at the 2002 Winter Olympics. But Dorfmeister bested her time by just over ¼ second to win her second gold medal in Torino. The bronze medal went to Dorfmeister’s teammate, Alexandra Meissnitzer. Meissnitzer had been the best skier in the world in 1999, winning World Cup titles in the overall, Super G, and GS, and was World Champion that year in GS and Super G, but she had not reached that form since.
