Cashman Leads the Way in Soldeu Super-G

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women took on the World Cup super-G in Soldeu, Andorra on Saturday with Keely Cashman leading the way in 12th place as the top American. Teammate Mary Bocock was not far off in 17th. 

Cashman delivered a composed and competitive run on the Soldeu track, attacking the upper pitches with confidence and maintaining solid speed through the gliding sections. While just outside the top 10, Cashman is pleased with her gameplan but hopes to improve slightly on the execution for the super-G the following day. 

“The snow is amazing here, so I was really happy to run early and just have the opportunity,” said Cashman. “I definitely didn't execute the plan exactly how I wanted to, but I'm really excited that we get another chance.”

Bocock is one of the young rising stars of the speed team, known for sending every race fully. She attached top to bottom and slid into her second-best career World Cup result of 17th place. 

“I'm feeling really happy that I'm able to execute the game plan,” said Bocock. “I was attacking a lot and I made some mistakes, but I think that was kind of necessary today to be really pushing.” 

The race was confidently won by Germany’s Emma Aicher, who put down a powerful and fluid run to claim victory by almost a full second. She was joined on the podium by New Zealand’s Alice Robinson in second and Switzerland’s Corinne Suter in third.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team athletes Tricia Mangan, Breezy Johnson and Haley Cutler also landed inside the 30 in 22nd, 25th and 28th place. Bella Wright, Allison Mollin and Jackie Wiles did not finish but are OK.

The Stifel U.S. Ski Team women will look to build on the super-G result for the next super-G race on Sunday.
