Sara Héctor was 3.18 seconds behind Italian leader Marta Bassino in the final already after the first race on the giant slalom track.

– It is not acceptable, says the director of the national team, Lars Melin, when interviewed in SVT.

Melin was harsh in her criticism.

– It was not a mistake, it was a big mistake the whole course, says Melin.

In the second race, Hector did a more stable effort and climbed from 18th to 14th and had the 11th fastest time.

– I made the same mistake as in the first race, I leaned in. It shouldn’t be that difficult, but it is, says Hector.

Estelle Alphand finished 32nd in the main race and had no more chances this day, the other three Swedish runners Jonna Luthman, Sara Rask and Hanna Aronsson-Elfman did not qualify among the 30 who had a chance in the second race.

– It’s never fun to stand still and watch riders perform poorly, says Melin.

Estelle Alphand explained that she had vision problems.

– I think it’s the same for everyone, says Melin.

Italian Marta Bassino he had 58 percent in favor of his compatriot Federica Brignone, who won the World Cup last season, before the second race.

Bassino held the pressure and won by 14 hundredths of a second.

American Mikaela Shiffrin, who has mastered alpine skiing since claiming her first World Cup win at the Åre slalom in 2012, is injured and was not present.
