Petra Vlhova did not miss her opportunity, especially to achieve a big second round, to celebrate her 31st professional success.
The Slovakian star defeated German Lina Duerr, the bronze medalist at the World Championships last season, and young American AJ Hurt (+0’87), who secured her first World Cup podium at the age of 23.
Only 16th after the first run, Hurt managed an absolutely crazy second run that brought a smile back to the American team, which also placed Paula Moltzan in fifth place, behind Valezan’s Camille Rast, who also posted the best performance of her career.
