  • Super-G Crystal Globe Mikaela Shiffrin Weirather and Schmidhofer
    PREVIEW Ladies’ SUPER G – Thursday 14 Mar 2019 Super-G crystal globe • Three skiers are still in contention for the ladies' super-G crystal globe: Mikaela Shiffrin (300 points), Tina Weirather (268), and Nicole Schmidhofer (253). • Shiffrin has already secured the overall and slalom crystal globe this season. She is also still in the running for the super-G and giant slalom crystal globe. Only two women have won four World Cup standings in one season: Lindsey Vonn (2010, 2012) and Tina Maze (2013). • Maze is also the last woman to win a crystal globe in a technical and speed event in the same year as she won the super-G and giant slalom standings in 2013. • No alpine skier, male or female, has ever won the overall, slalom, giant slalom and super-G crystal globes in one year. • Weirather (2017, 2018) can become the fifth woman to win the super-G crystal globe at least three times, after Vonn (5), Katja Seizinger (5), Carole Merle (4) and Renate Götschl (3). • Vonn (4, 2009-2012), Seizinger (4, 1993-1996) and Merle (4, 1989-1992) are the only women to win the ladies' super-G classification at least three seasons in a row. • Schmidhofer could become the first Austrian woman since Götschl in 2007 to win the super-G crystal globe. • Coming into the races in Soldeu, Schmidhofer is also in contention for the downhill crystal globe. Five women have won the downhill and super-G standings in the same year of which Vonn was the last to do so in 2015.
