Only Robinson faster
Julia Scheib races to the podium in Copper Mountain
After her victory in Sölden, Julia Scheib has also made it onto the podium in the second giant slalom of the season. The Styrian was only beaten by Alice Robinson from New Zealand in Copper Mountain, with Thea Louise Stjernesund from Norway coming in third.
Alice Robinson has won an Alpine World Cup ski race for the fifth time in her career. The New Zealander won the giant slalom at Copper Mountain on Saturday, 0.96 seconds ahead of Sölden triumphant Julia Scheib from Styria and 1.08 seconds ahead of Norway's Thea Louise Stjernesund. Katharina Liensberger was the second best Austrian in tenth place (+1.79).
Here is the result:
"I thought to myself after the flat section, I'm in tenth place, it was so magical for me. I'm really happy about second place," said Scheib, who will also be wearing the red jersey of the World Cup leader in the discipline classification next week in Mont Tremblant. She didn't get into the rhythm quite so well in the second run, she said in the ORF TV interview. "It's dark and I got stuck there. I felt a bit more comfortable with the set-up in the second run." In the first run, she was a little surprised that it was more aggressive than expected.
Liensberger pushed herself to the limit
While Scheib moved up from third to second place at the halfway stage, Liensberger lost two places. But that didn't dampen her joy. "I had the feeling that I could push myself to the limit and make the turns. I am very happy and look forward to continuing to work. I am absolutely satisfied." Robinson, who had previously failed to hold on to a half-time lead to win three times, was probably happy too. "It was a struggle, but today I wasn't going to let it get away from me. I'm really proud of myself."
Franziska Gritsch improved from 27th to 18th place, Lisa Hörhager came 22nd and scored her first points in the giant slalom. Nina Astner came 23rd, Stephanie Brunner remained far behind expectations in 25th place. Victoria Olivier (35th) and Viktoria Bürgler (40th) missed out on qualifying for the 2nd run.
