Gut closes on overall title, 5th in super-G won by Huetter (The Associated Press)

Lara Gut of Switzerland edged close to the overall Alpine World Cup title on Saturday by placing fifth in a super-G won by Austria’s Cornelia Huetter. Gut built a 295-point lead in the standings over Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany, who was 18th and all but conceded the season-long title. ”In the overall, it is more or less through,” said Rebensburg, acknowledging she almost needs a miracle with only three races left in her season.
