Result
Italy's Isolde Kostner won the women's World Cup super-G at Lenzerheide on 25 February 2001 in 1:36.61. Renate Goetschl of Austria finished only 0.08 seconds behind, and France's Carole Montillet took third at 0.13. The first three were therefore separated by thirteen hundredths of a second.
Competition detail
Germany's Petra Haltmayr was fourth, 0.15 behind Kostner and just 0.02 off the podium. Melanie Turgeon placed fifth at 0.34, with Megan Gerety sixth at 0.46. Kirsten Clark, winner of the downhill at the same venue the previous day, was seventh in this separate super-G at 0.77.
The top three represented Italy, Austria and France, while the first seven included skiers from Germany, Canada and the United States as well. Their close margins illustrate how the final podium depended on fractions of a second. The result should not be described as a downhill victory, despite that discipline also appearing in the weekend programme.
Context and dates
FIS's official classification identifies race AL 12984, and its meeting catalogue assigns the women's super-G to 25 February. A contemporary independent results report corroborates the winning time and podium. This archive entry uses the verified event day; the modern publication timestamp records when the report was added, not when the race took place.
