Andorran para-alpine skier Roger Puig finished 12th in the second super-G at the World Cup in Saalbach, Austria, adding 22 points despite a technically demanding course more akin to a giant slalom.
The event featured a tricky layout that did not fully suit Puig's strengths. He posted a solid run with good pace but lost time due to errors in several sections, preventing a higher finish. Canada's Alexis Guimond had won the first super-G there on Saturday, with France's Arthur Bauchet second and Russia's Aleksei Bugaev third. Puig took 10th in that race, securing 26 points and matching his top-10 from the downhill.
Puig's latest result leaves him ninth in the super-G standings with 110 points, pending the final races in Tignes at the end of January. He holds eighth in the overall classification with 338 points across all disciplines.
The Saalbach stop concluded the speed events on the calendar. Puig now shifts to technical disciplines, with upcoming competitions in Feldberg and Méribel.
