Lena Dürr has given German ski riders the best position in a World Cup slalom in one year. In the Bear Mountain race near the Croatian capital Zagreb, he achieved a good eighth place in difficult conditions.
With a lead of 0.05 seconds, Petra Vlhova from Slovakia achieved her fourth victory of the season and, at the same time, the title of “Snow Queen” awarded in Zagreb. Austrian Katharina Liensberger came second on the gentle slope. Michelle Gisin from Switzerland ranked third, 0.22 seconds behind Vlhova. Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) just lost her 100th place on the podium in her 182nd World Cup career in fourth place.
Christina Ackermann (fifth) and Dürr (sixth) were last placed in the top ten in a slalom in December 2019. Dürr maintained her eighth position in the “Snow Queen Trophy”, which she had achieved in the first race with fog and rain. “It was a top-down fight in difficult conditions,” he said after the race, speaking of a “step in the right direction.”
In addition to Dürr, Jessica Hilzinger (23) was also able to place in the points for the first time this winter and only for the ninth time as 21. Maier also spoke of a ‘superior performance’ in her case, Hilzinger added: ‘I am definitely pleased to have back to the points. But I also know that more is possible. “
