Burst into tears
Norwegian devastated after medal drama
Thea Louise Stjernesund missed out on the medals in the World Championship giant slalom by just one hundredth of a second and burst into tears afterwards. "It won't be easy to sleep today," the Norwegian was devastated.
RTL gold went to Italy's Federica Brignone ahead of Australia's Alice Robinson (+0.90) and the USA's Paula Moltzan (+2.62). Norway's Thea Louise Stjernesund was one hundredth of a second short of bronze.
No wonder the 28-year-old was so disappointed. "It won't be easy to sleep today," she told Norwegian TV station NRK after the race, breaking down in tears.
Her parents were also deeply saddened. "It was painful," explained her father. "It was so sad that she only missed a hundredth of a second," added her mother, adding: "But I'm very proud of her, she did a great job."
"One damn hundredth"
Norwegian former ski racer and TV pundit Kjetil Jansrud also suffered with Stjernesund. "A damn hundredth," he said.
On Saturday, the Norwegian has her last chance to win a World Championship medal in the slalom.
