Third in slalom on Tuesday. First in giant slalom on Saturday.
Sara Hector has dotted the big shape.
– A crazy day, I find it hard to believe, she says in Viaplay.
After the first giant slalom in Jasna, Slovakia, the Alpine star led by far.
Hector was a full second ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin.
The reigning Olympic champion in the discipline made a breakthrough on the difficult piste. Several early favorites had problems there. Among other things, Petra Vlhova crashed and had to be taken down the hill packed in a sledge. The Italian Federica Brignone also crashed out.
In the second race, Hector kept the pressure.
No one could upset the 31-year-old who was completely superior. Hector won by a margin of 1.52 seconds to runner-up Shiffrin. Alice Robinson, New Zealand, was third.
The victory was Hector’s first in the World Cup this season. Afterwards, the joy was great.
– It feels absolutely fantastic, she says.
Lisa Nyberg also struck with a strong placement. She turned twelve.
