Otherwise, Hector looked for a long time to get his best position in the slalom in his career. She has never been better than fourth and at the last intermediate time she was 0.48 ahead of the then leading American AJ Hurt.

Hector eventually finished sixth, 1.31 behind today’s supreme winner Petra Vhlova. A clearly approved effort by giant slalom specialist Hector.
