Two German chances for a podium
The German line-up is no different from that of previous slaloms. Lena Dürr, Emma Aicher and Jessica Hilzinger are also taking part in this night slalom. Dürr believes he has the best chances of a podium finish. There have already been three top 10 results this season, and second place in Copper Mountain confirmed that Dürr has what it takes for a podium finish this season too. She will take to the slopes with start number seven, just ahead of Aicher (nine). And she was already on a slalom podium this winter. Hilzinger wears the 39th today.
