Fight of the ski-divas: Colturi vomits, racing still makes it onto the podium!

An extraordinary incident caused excitement at the Women's World Cup giant slide in Saalbach. Camille Rast, the Swiss skier, was disappointed after her first round, in which she was more than three seconds behind the leading Federica Brignone. The reason for Rast’s difficulties was a disturbing scene at the start: her competitor Lara Colturi had overturned, which apparently released the concept considerably. "I reacted sensitively and was no longer in my race," the 25-year-old told SRF after she arrived at the finish with 3.5 seconds. Despite this dramatic situation, Colturi, who ended the first run in eighth place, made it once again and was able to expand her own performance horizon. According to the 18-year-old manager, she was in order after she had a strong cough and nausea during the race, as krone.at reported.

Premiere in Gurgl

On the same weekend, another premiere took place in the Ski Alpin World Cup in Gurgl, where the women held their first slalom. Lena Dürr, the best German slalom driver, impressed, but only achieved sixth place. The competition for the strongest athlete, Mikaela Shiffrin, who wrote history with her 99th World Cup victory, and the surprise talent Lara Colturi, who celebrated her first podium positions, had anything but easy. Colturi, who drives for Albania, surprised the entire scene by putting fourth place to finish in the second round and thus demonstrating her terrific shape. Camille Rast was also able to look forward to a place on the podium for the first time after she was able to increase like Colturi in the second round. These competitions show how dynamic and exciting the current ski season is designed, as well as chiemgau24.de reported.
