Brydon, whose career was interrupted by a bad crash in St. Anton in 2001, finished in one minute, 17.39 seconds to outpace the competition by a healthy margin of 0.25 seconds.
“It’s like a dream I’ve had for years,” Brydon said. “I just let the skis go and I tried to create as much speed as possible.”
Austria’s Elisabeth Goergl came second (1:17.64), and teammate Renate Goetschl, the defending super G champion, finished a close third (1:17.68).
Brydon had previously garnered her lone World Cup silver medal on the same piste in St. Moritz on Dec. 16.”
