Things are not going well for Lara Jot Behrami. In three races on the Corviglia, it never made the top five.

First race of the season, first win: Just over a month ago, Lara Jot Behrami (31) had reason to smile. She won the giant slalom in Killington (USA). “It’s great, I was able to show what I can do in both races and drive well,” she said. Some believe that the Ticino citizen will continue in this way. But far from it. In the seven races that followed, she never made it to the podium – seventh place in the giant slalom in Sestriere was (it) the highest of feelings.
“I’m not that bad, but I’m not fast,” she said recently in St. Moritz JR. An eighth-place finish in Super-G on the Corviglia in particular was troubling her—and no wonder, since she had no chance in her chocolate major. “It’s frustrating. We just have to find the key to be faster.” But where is the problem?
“She’s hungry enough.”
Gut-Behrami clearly lost a lot of time on the flat sections. “The first reaction is to say the ski doesn’t work. But there are many screws in ski racing that you can turn. Sometimes you go the wrong way and it gets worse. And sometimes it’s better not to shoot at all,” says Walter Rosser. .
The Swiss Alpine manager cautions against questioning everything. “Don’t panic. Lara is healthy, fit and skates well – these are the most important criteria. I am convinced that she will draw the right conclusions with the experienced people on her team.”
At the moment, Gut-Behrami will switch from long skis to shorter ones again, after Christmas there will be two giant slaloms in Semmering (Austria). Rosser: «Lara is hungry enough – that’s why she’s disappointed now. But she handles feelings differently than before – she will already be looking forward again.
