Switzerland triumphs: Double victory in the women's slalom at World Cup in Saalbach!

In the heart of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, an exciting spectacle took place today that inspired the audience. The Ski World Championship in Slalom brought a historical double victory for Switzerland when Camille Rast won the title and her colleague Wendy Holdener drove to second place. This is the first slalom world title for Switzerland since 1991 when the legendary Vreni Schneider also triumphed in Saalbach. Bronze medal went to the Austrian Katharina Liensberger, who despite a strong first run was able to secure a medal, while she felt the pressure of the Swiss who gave everything in the second run to achieve this remarkable success.

The race was exciting right from the start. Holdener set a clear exclamation mark with the best time in the second round, but it was rast that ended up nerves and drove even faster. For Wendy Holdener it was the ninth World Cup medal, and the emotions came up in the finish area-the mother could not hold back the tears. The Austrian team had to be satisfied only one step behind the winner podium with outstanding achievements, but without the grand finale. Liensberger made it onto the podium, but the result does not quite reflect the keeping of the Austrians, who all share a common first name.

With these results, the women's World Cup is now completed. The men compete to their slalom on Sunday, and after the victory of the Swiss women, more is waiting for the men's performance. Mikaela Shiffrin, who did not make it into the podium despite just five hundredths, said after the race that her trip and gold medal in the team combination with Breezy Johnson on the return to Saalbach was an unexpected climax. The tension remains high until the last race, while the world of skiing in Saalbach is watching how the men enter the slopes. More on this the Krone and .
