Hector wins RTL
Battle for the crystal globe: Scheib in contention for victory
How bitter! Julia Scheib suffered a setback in the battle for the crystal globe on Saturday in the giant slalom in Spindlermühle. Austria's hottest contender was eliminated in the final. The victory went to Sweden's Sara Hector.
The crystal globe decision in the women's giant slalom has been postponed. Four-time season winner Julia Scheib was eliminated in the final on Saturday after finishing third in the third half in Spindlermühle. Sweden's Sara Hector won ahead of Americans Paula Moltzan (+0.18) and Mikaela Shiffrin (+0.23). Switzerland's Camille Rast finished fourth and is now 89 points behind Scheib in the discipline World Cup with two races to go. Hector also still has a chance of winning the crystal globe.
"I wasn't clean on my skis, then the tail of my ski slipped away a bit. I would have liked to have achieved a good result," said Scheib in an ORF TV interview.
Astner best ÖSV woman
The best Austrian was Nina Astner, who improved by ten places to finish 13th. With her solid results this season, she should have secured her Olympic ticket. "I got into my stride a little better in the second run. I still need to practice the steep section, but overall it was okay," said the 25-year-old, for whom this was the second-best result of her career after finishing twelfth at the end of the year in Semmering.
Here are the final results:
Brunner: "It was two tough runs"
Stephanie Brunner moved up from 29th to 16th. "It's very difficult to keep the skis on track on this snow. It was two tough runs," explained the Tyrolean.
Ricarda Haaser finished in 19th place. Franziska Gritsch failed to qualify for the second run, as did New Zealand's Alice Robinson, who had been so strong at the start of the season.
