"I'm doing quite well," said Rebensburg shortly afterwards in an ARD interview. "I hit my knee a little bit. It hurt, but it's okay. It was very difficult to drive," she said

The Super-G was marked by numerous falls, and it also caught the best German skier.
Review from Schmidhofer: "It's on the border"
After some marshals had helped Rebensburg, she drove down to the finish area alone, but lifted her left leg so as not to strain it. However, it did not look like a serious ligament injury. At first there was no exact diagnosis. A little later, the Italian Sofia Goggia fell. The race was on the brink, but continued. At Goggia, too, it was initially unclear whether she had been seriously injured. Apparently she sustained a hand injury.
"I am happy that I am down there. It is on the border and will definitely be more and more difficult," criticized the Austrian Nicole Schmidhofer, who was second to Swiss Corinne Suter. The icy and different slope, which also contained a few strokes, was extremely demanding for the racer. Rebensburg said: "It's doable, but you have to drive very clean."
The women's racing calendar will continue this weekend with a slalom and giant slalom in Kranjska Gora.
It is still unclear whether rebensburg will start.
