Best result of the season: Hanna Schnarf in Val d'Isère 5.

The Slovenian also showed a flawless performance in Val d'Isère and couldn't believe herself when she crossed the finish line with an increase of 28 hundredths of a second and thus took her fourth victory in the fifth race. “I have no explanation for this. If it works, it works. I’m super happy,” Stuhec beamed after the race.

While the Slovenian drove hard, the defending champion of the overall World Cup, i.e. Lara Gut, has had a weekend to forget so far. After she had already been eliminated from the Alpine Combined on Friday, she did not finish the downhill on Saturday either and had to accept a bitter setback in the fight for the big crystal ball.

Sofia Goggia, who finished third in Val d'Isére and thus achieved her sixth podium place in the eighth race, also lives by the Stuhec principle “If it works, then it works”. The Austrian Cornelia Hütter came second.

Schnarf convinced, Stuffer is eliminated On Friday, Hanna Schnarf showed a great performance in the combination descent and came 6th. In the “real” descent on Saturday, the Olanger woman went one better, completed the race without any major mistakes and at good speed and ultimately ended up in fifth place . She was only 15 hundredths of a second short of the podium. Nevertheless, fifth place was Schnarf's best result this season.

Striking: From third to sixth place there are only riders from the Italian national team: Goggia, Nadia Fanchini, Schnarf and Elena Fanchini. Nicol Delago also collected World Cup points in 28th place. Verena Stuffer, on the other hand, should soon forget her appearance. The woman from Val Gardena made a goal error in the middle part of the route, which is why she was eliminated.

Great performance from Hanna Schnarf, who achieved her best result of the season so far with fifth place in the women's downhill in Val d'Isère. The surprise lady Ilka Stuhec was once again outstanding in the French Alpine village.
