10:59
Emma Aicher (GER)
And it’s a similar story for Emma Aicher, who is eliminated again! For her, it was the inner ski that was her downfall.
10:59
Stefanie Grob (40)
Stefanie Grob starts a little too far behind for a good placement and then unfortunately is eliminated.
10:52
Melanie Meillard (SUI)
Meillard puts in a very strong first part on the slopes and is heading towards the top 15. She is able to keep up the gap and still makes it to 18th place.
10:50
Lena Dürr (GER)
And now the first German is on the way. She doesn’t have a bad race at the top and keeps the gap under control. Overall, it’s a good run and Dürr makes it into the second round with 18th place!
10:46
Andrea Ellenberger (SUI)
Ellenberger starts well but then has to lose some time. Her journey itself is not wrong and she ranks 20th, over five seconds behind.
10:44
Simone Wild (SUI)
Richardson is back and the Wild can start. She starts the race offensively and can still hold on well. By staying on track, Wild can actually finish in 14th place. But that’s definitely not bad.
10:40
Britt Richardson (CAN)
Richardson starts the race hesitantly, then is lifted out and flies through an advertising board into the fence! Here, too, we hope that she didn’t hurt herself.
10:39
Camille Rast (SUI)
Wow, can she take the lead here again? Rast is great on the skis, stays on track and really wants to know it here. Less than three seconds and fifth place at the finish is a really good result!
10:37
Roberta Melesi (ITA)
The Italian is continuously losing time as she goes down, but is still doing well and will probably make it into the second round.
10:36
Lara Colturi (ALB)
Colturi, on the other hand, can show an offensive run again and wants to get everything out of the course. Her good ride brings her to a good ninth place.
10:34
Elisabeth Kappaurer (AUT)
For Kappaurer, however, it became apparent early on that this would be difficult for her today. She seems a bit too cautious and doesn’t really find a rhythm. That should be difficult in the second round.
10:32
AJ Hurt (USA)
Even if the numbers get bigger, there is still some progress here. Hurt is also doing well, can initiate the turns well and finishes in seventh place.
10:29
Ricarda Haaser (AUT)
And Haaser can also show good skiing here. She takes the first goals with confidence and usually completes the swings in the lower part really well. For them it is also enough for eighth place.
10:28
Ana Bucik (SLO)
Today, of course, the conditions for increasing self-confidence are not the best. But Bucik is still on the move and is trying to score goals in rhythm. But it was easy to see and despite a stayer she still finished in eighth place.
10:26
Stephanie Brunner (AUT)
For Stephanie Brunner the race is over quicker than hoped. She is eliminated after just a few goals.
10:25
Clara Direz (FRA)
The Frenchwoman is getting along a little better here. She can tackle the turns much better and still finishes in the top ten.
10:23
Julia Scheib (AUT)
Even today, just two seconds behind is too much for a good result. Schweib also seems rather cautious and really has to work. But almost six seconds is actually not satisfactory for them either.
10:22
Katharina Liensberger (AUT)
And Liensberger doesn’t get along much better either. The swing bases don’t fit properly and it twists them every now and then. Liensberger is also going a long way back.
10:20
Michelle Gisin (SUI)
She doesn’t really seem to be feeling well. She is already four seconds behind before the finish. She just doesn’t get into the turns cleanly. For now it’s only enough for 11th place. The athletes are all a bit at a loss here at the finish.
10:17
Alice Robinson (NZL)
The New Zealander can once again show that it is still possible. Although she doesn’t come close to Hector’s time, she initially leaves the gap at half a second. Of course it gets tiring in the lower part, but she is able to pull the ride down and finish in third place behind Shiffrin.
10:15
Maryna Gasienica Daniel (POL)
But the Polish woman has problems again at the top. This makes her seem rather cautious and causes the backlog to become a bit too big along the way. Tenth place for her at the finish.
10:13
Thea Louise Stjernesund (NOR)
Stjernesund also has to fight hard for traction, but runs well. She’s almost two seconds behind on the way, but she can’t get it back down. Sara Hector is still in the lead position here.
10:11
Zrinka Ljutic (CRO)
The distances are big today, so we’ll have to get used to it. But Ljutic is active and doesn’t let the slopes unsettle him. Although she also finished well over two seconds behind, that was still enough for third place.
10:10
Paula Moltzan (USA)
What Moltzan is doing here doesn’t look wrong. In the first few gates she had to save herself briefly, but then she got a good feeling halfway through the run and was able to bring her run down to sixth place despite further mistakes.
10:08
Ragnhild Mowinckel (NOR)
Mowinckel has to save himself twice in the upper part, but remains aggressive. This is a strong run that she can finish with plenty of steam in the boiler, even in the lower part despite small errors. That’s currently enough for third place.
10:06
Franziska Gritsch (AUT)
Gritsch also gets along sensibly and usually gets the turns down properly. But you can clearly see that she has problems finding grip. Sixth place is then at the finish.
10:05
Mina Fuerst Holtmann (NOR)
She also has small problems at the top, but she gets along and can get the ski up to speed. The Norwegian finishes the turns well, but also finishes more than four seconds behind. And that’s enough for fourth place. You have to imagine this.
10:03
Mikaela Shiffrin (USA)
With Shiffrin, an athlete can once again come to ride. She’s not as fast as Hector, but the material is good and she can tackle the aggressively groomed slopes well. But she also gets a second behind.
10:01
Marta Bassino (ITA)
And Bassino also has a hard time in the upper part. The athletes are approaching the first goals really carefully. And so she runs through her entire race. This has nothing to do with aggressive driving. Eight seconds behind at the finish, that’s unbelievable!
09:59
Valérie Grenier (CAN)
Vhlová was brought downstairs with the Akja, but luckily she still waves to the audience. Valérie Grenier can now start. How does she deal with the situation? She can’t tackle the course as quickly as Hector. She doesn’t get along well in the first few goals and falls significantly behind. Grenier also doesn’t seem to be able to cope with the combination of material and slope at all and is well over four seconds behind at the finish!
09:48
Race still interrupted
Vlhová has now been freed from the net, but is still lying in the snow. She will not be able to leave the slopes under her own power. This is of course incredibly bitter and we keep our fingers crossed!
09:43
Petra Vlhova (SVK)
That’s impossible! Vlhová is also eliminated. And of all things in her home race! She falls and lands in the net. Hopefully nothing happened to her.
09:41
Sara Hector (SWE)
Okay, that’s quick! Hector gets a second lead in the first few gates and stays on track throughout the entire course. She takes the turns very harmoniously and has a speed that is impressive. She cuts off Gut-Behrami here for almost three seconds!
09:40
Lara Gut-Behrami (SUI)
The Swiss can initially do better and stay on course. It runs smoothly and handles turning on the terrain quite well. After 1:13 minutes, Gut-Behrami reached the finish. But she doesn’t seem completely satisfied.
09:37
Federica Brignone (ITA)
The atmosphere is great, the weather is perfect and Federica Brignone opened the Jasna giant slalom. But their run didn’t last long, because Brignone lost her balance at the second goal and was eliminated!
09:25
The favorites
The circle of favorites in the giant slalom is large. In addition to Federica Brignone and Lara Gut-Behrami, who clearly lead the discipline rankings, Mikaela Shiffrin is also a very hot candidate for the podium. Valérie Grenier, Petra Vlhová, and perhaps also Sara Hector will also want to have a big say in the fight for the top three places.
09:18
Good Behrami with the best chances
With Lara Gut-Behrami, Switzerland is sending its best driver into the race in second place. A podium place is definitely possible for her today. Michelle Gisin with start number 16 will probably fight for a top 20 place. For Camille Rast it will primarily be about reaching the second round.
Simone Wild, Andrea Ellenberger (29 and 30), Melanie Meillard (35), Stefanie Grob (40), Jasmina Suter (49) and Elena Stoffel (66) complete the Swiss squad.
09:11
Who will be the best Austrian?
The ÖSV has again come with a large contingent and is sending Franziska Gritsch (9) into the race as the first. They could definitely make it into the top 15. She has already shown that this season. The same applies to Katharina Liensberger (17). Julia Scheib has to complete her two runs with start number 18, then she too can aim for the top ten. Stephanie Brunner should want to drive towards the top 20.
Ricarda Haaser (22), Elisabeth Kappaurer (24), Elisa Mörzinger (53), Katharina Troupe (59), Katharina Huber (60) and Lisa Hörhager (62) are also competing for the ÖSV.
09:03
What’s going on for Germany today?
For Lena Dürr, today is the first giant slalom of the season. She will take to the slopes with start number 31 as the first of the two DSV starters.
Frequent rider Emma Aicher starts ten numbers later. If she makes it into the second round and can get out of the small negative spiral, then Aicher can move towards the top 20.
