Karbon falls in the decision - Maze double Olympic champion

Tina Maze was in the lead at halftime by a large margin. The Slovenian withstood the great pressure and ultimately prevailed with a lead of seven hundredths of a second over the Austrian Anna Fenninger. Maze was crowned Olympic champion for the second time (after gold in the downhill), while Fenninger, after gold in the super-G, also won silver in the giant slalom.

The bronze medal went to the German Viktoria Rebensburg, who improved from sixth to third place with the fastest time in the second round. Rebensburg started the race as defending champions.

Fanchini gets “Blech”

The “Azzurre” were unlucky because Nadia Fanchini – still on course for a medal in third place at halftime – took fourth place, 0,38 seconds behind Maze. The 27-year-old was only 0,11 seconds short of bronze.

From a South Tyrolean perspective there was no sense of success either. The 33-year-old Denise Karbon from Castelrotto was in eighth place after the first run. In the second round she put everything on one card for her fourth Olympic participation, but after an error-filled ride she fell after the third split and was eliminated. This means that 14th place at her Olympic debut in Salt Lake City (2002) remains Karbon's best result in the games with the five rings.
