Germany's Emma Aicher won a women's ⁠super-G in Andorra on Saturday, with New Zealand's Alice Robinson ‌second to put pressure on Italy's ‌Sofia Goggia at the top ‌of the World Cup Alpine ‌ski standings in the discipline.

The victory ‌in the first super-G since the Winter Olympics was the third ‌of the season for Aicher, ⁠a ‌double silver medallist in Cortina, and her ​second in super-G.

Robinson was 0.88 slower, and Switzerland's ​Corinne Suter, winner of a downhill on Friday in Soldeu, was ⁠third.

Goggia, who ​finished sixth, stayed top of the standings but is now only 20 points clear of Robinson with ‌three races remaining.

Aicher moved up to third, but with 96 points to make up on the Italian and another super-G scheduled for Sunday.

The race was halted briefly after Austrian Ricarda Haaser suffered a nasty crash and ‌was taken off the slope ​on a stretcher.

American Lindsey Vonn, absent ‌and out of action for the long-term after breaking her leg in an Olympic downhill crash, dropped to fourth ⁠in the ⁠standings.
