Cande Moreno from Andorra missed a gate in the final sector of the women's World Cup super-G despite

Andorran skier Cande Moreno failed to finish the women's World Cup super-G in Crans Montana, Switzerland, on Sunday, missing a gate in the final sector despite strong early splits that had her contending for points.

Starting with bib 35 of 50 at 11:00, Moreno recorded the 13th-fastest time in the first sector (+0.15 seconds off the pace), then 35th (+0.36), 31st (+0.35), and 19th (+0.12) through the subsequent splits. She recovered from a near-fall at a triple gate but lost control in a high-speed, bumpy stretch near the finish, skipping a gate for a DNF. Switzerland's Malorie Blanc won in 1:17.34, with Italy's Sofia Goggia second (+0.18) and US skier Breezy Johnson third (+0.36). Currently 43rd in super-G standings with 3 points and 119th overall with 8, Moreno appeared disappointed afterward. She said she is skiing at a very high level in super-G and called Saturday's canceled downhill a shame but a good chance to preview the course ahead of next year's World Championships.

The super-G concluded Crans Montana's World Cup weekend—the last before the Winter Olympics—after Saturday's downhill was canceled after six starters due to poor track conditions, low visibility, and several falls. Austria's Nina Ortlieb (bib 1) crashed into nets after a right-hand gate on a jump landing; Norway's Marte Monsen (bib 3) fell near the finish after mishandling the final gate; and US star Lindsey Vonn (bib 6) went into the nets with apparent knee pain but skied down, raising doubts over her Olympics participation and the upcoming World Cup at El Tarter. Only three completed the course: France's Romane Miradoli (bib 2), Switzerland's Corinne Suter (bib 5), and US skier Jacqueline Wiles (bib 4, fastest at 1:14.95). The jury deliberated after Vonn, sent an extra forerunner, and halted the race for safety reasons. Moreno, with bib 44 of 48, did not start and thus avoided the risks; her second downhill training there had also been canceled due to heavy snow.

Moreno's next races are in Soldeu: downhill on 27 February after training on 25-26 February, plus super-Gs on 28 February and 1 March. The schedule continues with Val di Fassa downhill on 7 March, before World Cup finals in Lillehammer, Norway, on 21 March—open only to the top 24 overall.

Meanwhile, Íria Medina is training in Reiteralm, Austria, ahead of an FIS giant slalom in Hinterreit and a Europa Cup double-header in Germany next weekend.
