Liensberger fights bravely: Fifth place in the Slalom final in the season!

At the final slalom final in Sun Valley, the Austrian ski team has again experienced an exciting competition. Despite a constant season, the team had to do without winning a World Cup crystal ball for the fourth time in six years. Katharina Liensberger secured the best results for the domestic skiers with a fifth place in the race, while Zrinka Ljutic from Croatia won the title with tenth place. Before the final, Ljutic had 32 points ahead of Liensberger, who could no longer catch up with it.

Mikaela Shiffrin crowned the end of the season with her 101st World Cup victory and relegated Lena Dürr and Andreja Slokar. Shiffrin, who missed four races for injuries in the season, showed up in excellent form despite the setbacks. She won with a lead of 1.13 seconds on Dürr and 1.14 seconds on Slokar.

The race in Sun Valley

Liensberger started the final as fourth after the first round and was under pressure due to the points situation. In order to overtake Ljutic in the overall ranking, she should have achieved at least second place in the second round. She completed the competition at the finish line with a gap of 0.80 seconds to the leading Andreja Slokar, but was able to leave Wendy Holdener behind, who thus influenced the decisive struggle for the crystal ball.

The track record and outlook

Katharina Huber took twelfth place in the final, while the Åre winner, Katharina Treuppe, was out due to difficulties in the course of the race. Troop regretted that she would have liked a better conclusion, but took the victory from Åre positively. Huber noted that she was missing in the preparation of the speed, which impaired the results.

with the crowning glory of Ljutic, the junior world champion from 2022, as a "crown princess" of the slalom, it becomes clear that new talents are on the rise. LJUTIC has also been contracted by the Skiirma Atomic this season, which is strengthening its status in the international ski circus.

The exciting developments in the ski alpine show that Austria's ski women will take another attempt after disappointing results in the giant slalom on Sunday in order to successfully cut off in future competitions. For the fans there are hopeful material for cheering, while the stars continue to fight for the best places.
