After the first run Gut found herself sat in second place as she was 0.02 seconds back on Slovenian Ana Drev, who was looking for her best ever individual World Cup finish having come seventh in Courcheval last week.

But while 30-year-old Drev failed to finish her second run Gut made no mistake, coming home fourth fastest for a best combined total time of 2:06.00 minutes.
