Mikaela Shiffrin finished fifth on a badly deteriorated slope to become the half-time leader and missed out on her 98th World Cup victory with her second-worst second run. Saturday's Overture on the Rettenbach Glacier set a record attendance with 15,800 spectators.
The best Swiss woman is Camille Rast in 12th place, followed by Michelle Gisin in 22nd place. Laster was still three places behind Gissing in 16th in the morning, but then moved up with a best run of fifth, while Gissing lost nine places due to a time-wasting error. Wendy Holdener competed for the first time since a foot injury in December 2023 and Simone Wild finished 25th and 28th.

Lara Gut-Behrami did not start. The woman from canton Ticino felt unwell and decided to give up after the game. She wasn't 100 percent healthy yet and the risk of injury was too great. Last season's World Cup winner, who has been hampered by flu and knee problems during her recent preparations, tearfully explained that she didn't want the injury to end her career.
For Gut-Behrami, who was unable to train three weeks before the start of the World Cup, the season will begin with the second giant slalom race of the winter in Killington on November 30. In the past two weeks, the women's competitors have performed two slaloms in Levy and one slalom in Gurgar. The speed opener will be held at Beaver Creek in early December. (HKL/SDA)
