Before the performance of the three best slalom skiers in the final – Switzerland Camille Rast In Wendy Holdener and Croatian Zrinke Ljutic – the Swede led Anna Swenn Larsonwho maintained her advantage over the Swiss at the top with precise and technically perfect skiing Mélanie Méillard.

Rast entered the fight for victory first. She was only two hundredths of a second ahead of Swenn Larson, but she already wasted them in the upper section. In the lower part, which the Swede did perfectly, she tried to make up for lost time, but in vain – she was 17 hundredths behind.

This was followed by the performance of Wendy Holdener, who achieved the same time in the first run as Ljutić, winner of the last slalom in Semmering. 34 hundredths of a second was her advantage at the start, she doubled it with a brilliant top section, at the last measure of the split time she was already more than a second ahead. She sovereignly took the lead and threw down the gauntlet to the last finalist at the start, Zrinka Ljutić.

The 20-year-old woman from Zagreb withstood the pressure, like Holdener, she drove the upper part perfectly, gaining a few hundredths of an advantage, in the lower part she was even faster, she won the second victory of her career with an advantage of 16 hundredths!

Slokar at the end of the seventh

The Austrian set the bar high in the final Katharina Liensberger20th after the first run which gained 11 places with a time of 1:42.12. She only pushed her off the top Andreja Slokarwho had an eight-tenths lead at the start. She lost six in the middle section, but kept her speed and composure in the lower section, taking the advantage by 15 hundredths of a second. Ajdovka finished seventh, Neja Dvornik she was 17 years old. She was very disappointed Ana Bucik Joganwho was 35th (she should have skied 31 hundredths faster for the final). Lila Lapanja was 44 years old, Catherine Sinigoi on his debut at the 55th World Cup, Nika Tomšič but she resigned.

Caravan is moving to St. Anton, where the super giant slalom and downhill will take place next weekend.
