Fantastic race and fantastic from Mikaela. She is in a very good spot and seemed to really like this hill and surface. But what's also great is that there are a few more very good racers. It is still exciting and her winning is not a given, like it was a few seasons ago. Fede(x) a weak top in second, but a quick finish. I've always liked her skiing and attitude a lot.
Sara Hector had a pretty bad first run and then the second fastest 2:nd with a lot of positive things, ending 6th. She was ill over Christmas / New Years and fell into a little dip. Hopefullt that is over now and back to voll gas. Good race from Estelle who have not found her skiing after her injury a few season back. Also nice to see Fredrik Nybergs daughter Lisa make the cut for the first time on the WC, ending up 25th. The attentative might note that Hanna Aronsson Elfman, the reigning JR GS World Champion wasn't here. She was busy running SL in St Anton, where she also took the JR World Champ Gold today. She will be in Kronplatz tomorrow. Surface seemed to be first class so still a shot to make it with a late number (she will be way back).
