Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Lower Austrian triumphed on Sunday in Seoul in a close decision ahead of Ai Mori (JPN) and Annie Sanders (USA). As a result, she overtook double Olympic champion Janja Garnbret (SLO), who did not compete in South Korea, in the overall standings.
Quite surprising
Pilz achieved her third World Cup success overall. "The victory is a bit of a surprise, after the semi-final I didn't think I could climb onto the podium. It's been a long season, the fatigue is in my bones, but I just wanted to give it my all once again," said the Tyrolean by choice. Her recent win in the overall lead climbing rankings ahead of top star Garnbret also came as a surprise. "I never expected the season to end like this, the season couldn't have gone any better. Winning the World Cup ranking makes me incredibly happy," said the 27-year-old.
Mattea Pötzi was eliminated in the semi-finals in 16th place and finished seventh overall.
