The Swiss once again shone in slalom. In Kranjska Gora, Wendy Holdener took 2nd place behind the young Croatian Zrinka Ljutic. Camille Rast failed at the foot of the podium just ahead of Mélanie Meillard.
Wendy Holdener didn’t miss much to achieve her third World Cup success in the discipline. Co-leader with Zrinka Ljutic at the end of the 1st route, the Schwyzoise delivered a high-flying 2nd round. But the skier from Unteriberg came across a Ljutic in a state of grace. The 20-year-old Croatian crossed the line 0.16″ ahead to sign her second success in a row in the discipline after her triumph in Semmering last weekend.
Thanks to this new victory, Ljutic takes 1st place in the general classification and that of the slalom. Leader of the discipline before this race, Camille Rast is however only 4 points behind in the slalom World Cup. Fourth, 0”17 from the podium, the Valaisanne finished the five slaloms of the season in the top-5.
-Mélanie Meillard also displays more than pleasing consistency, even if she will still have to wait before achieving a first top-3 in a classic discipline. The skier from Hérémence has five top-10s in her 2024/25 slalom record, which puts her in 8th place in the discipline rankings.
