Since the 30th start, while all the supposedly best riders had run, Kajsa Vickhoff Lie (22) secured herself with a strong run in the women’s downhill race at Val d’Isere.
The 22-year-old led in the first four halves before having to watch the hundreds go in the wrong direction at the end. In the end, she was still only 33 hundredths behind the winner Sofia Goggia of Italy. Corinne Suter from Switzerland took second place
Breezy Johnson of the United States in third place was just six hundredths ahead of Vickhoff Lie.
The Bærum rider ran almost smoothly, but a cornering error in which several of the riders fell during Friday’s race was fatal.
– A bad turn from victory, summed up NRK alpine expert Kjetil André Aamodt.
Before Saturday’s race, the super-G’s sixth place at St. Moritz in December last year was Vickhoff’s Lie’s best place in a World Cup race.
Ragnhild Mowickel, who drove to a solid ninth on Friday, had a slightly heavier day on Saturday. He finished in 25th place.
