Goetschl was the overall world champion in 2000
Renate Goetschl won her second women's World Cup super-G race in a row at Reiteralm in Austria on Saturday.

The home favourite, who won the season-opening race in Lake Louise in Canada earlier this month, clocked a time of one minute 17.91 seconds.

Her team-mate Nicole Hosp was second with Swiss skier Martina Schild third, the only non-Austrian in the top eight.

Britain's Chemmy Alcott, who was seventh in Friday's super combined event, was 20th in a time of 1:20.06.

American Lindsey Kildow, who was second in Lake Louise but has been suffering from a stomach bug this week, went off course.

"I didn't expect to be so good in super-G this season," said 31-year-old Goetschl, who won only one race last season.

"I was surprised when I won in Lake Louise and now again here.

"My target at the start of the season was to win my fifth World Cup downhill title but now I'm doing so well in super-G, I'd rather not talk about the downhill."
