Shiffrin too slow
Ladies’ slalom in Aare from 9.30 a.m. LIVE
Austria's women's skiers have celebrated a double victory in the slalom in Åre. Katharina Truppe won on Sunday ahead of Katharina Liensberger to claim her maiden victory in the World Cup. After finishing sixth in the first run, the Carinthian catapulted herself to the top in the final with the third-best run time.
Liensberger improved from third to second place, 5/100 of a second behind. Mikaela Shiffrin came third.
"Can barely stand up"
The US star was leading at the halfway point, but ultimately missed out on her 101st World Cup victory by 19/100ths. "I can hardly stand, my feet are shaking so incredibly. It was so nerve-wracking," said the 29-year-old Truppe on ORF after the race. "As soon as I knew I was on the podium, I was more relaxed. But as Mika lost more and more time, there was hope that 'maybe it will work out today'. Unbelievable, I can't even describe it." Truppe has stood on the World Cup podium four times so far, each time in third place.
Katharina Huber was the third-best Austrian in 17th place (+1.82) just ahead of team-mate Katharina Gallhuber (+1.89). Franziska Gritsch and all other ÖSV skiers missed the second run.
The result:
Sara Hector, who had achieved the third-fastest time in the first run, was disqualified. The Swede had a binding plate on her ski that was too high and was therefore taken out of the race.
