Despite the faster blue course, Hector was 0.36 behind in the first race and lost a total of 0.34 against the experienced Swiss.

– Today he loses third place, says Tobias Hellman.

Hector lost the semi-finals after a thriller against Levi’s slalom premiere double winner Petra Vlhova, who won a scant hundredth overall, after being 0.11 behind in race one. Vlhova had floated through the night and won both the eighth and fourth with 0.04, where he made heavy losses.

“Damn it,” Hector yelled in disappointment as she crossed the finish line from her red line.

Vlhova won the competition after defeating American sensation Paula Moltzan in the final. It was an even final but the American fell just before the goal when they were side by side. “Petra, Petra!” It was heard in choirs from the stands.

Vlhova: “Every round felt like a final”

– It was a very tough day and each round felt like a final. But I managed to win incredibly well and it turned out to be a good day at the end, I’m so tired, says Vlhova on the SVT broadcast.

– She deserved to run for first and second place, but now differed by a hundredth, said SVT expert Tobias Hellman of Hector’s efforts.

In the fourth, Hector took a huge lead in the first set against Norway’s Thea Louise Stjernesund and despite a poor start, the Swede won the tie by 0.43. He needed that lead for race two, where Hector from the slower red track stayed out and won by just under 0.09 overall.

In the round of 16, Hector was superior to Austrian skier Katharina Truppe and won a total of 1.02 after two races.

Mikaela Shiffrin chose to outperform the competition due to a different season plan.
