European Cup: Karoline Pichler on the podium for the second time

In the giant slalom she put in a very strong second run and went from fifth to third place. In the end, Pichler was 41 hundredths behind the day's winner. This is the second EC podium finish of her career for the young Regglberg athlete. Already in January she took third place in the downhill in St. Anton.

The giant slalom was less successful for the World Cup-proven Lisa Agerer from Vinschger, who finished eleventh and narrowly missed a place in the top ten. The race was disappointing for Sofia Goggia, who was eliminated in the first round and thus deprived herself of any chance of winning the giant slalom ranking.

The victory in Sochi went to Coralie Frasse Sombet from France, who beat the Swiss Jasmina Suter by two tenths. In the men's category, the Italian Silvano Varrettoni won the SuperG; there were no South Tyroleans at the start.

For the "Azzurri" it was already the 28th podium finish in this year's European Cup. The South Tyrolean athletes won ten of them.
