The World Cup in Jasná, which took place in the Slovak winter resort last weekend, experienced the third edition after 2016 and 2021. Except for the injuries of Petra Vlhová and Adam Žampa as a forerunner during the giant slalom on Saturday, there were lots of attractive battles and the triumphs of Sara Hector from Sweden (giant slalom) and Mikaela Shiffrin from the USA (slalom). Although Zrinka Ljutič from Croatia didn’t make it easy for Mikaela and lost only by 14 hundredths of seconds in slalom, the favourite celebrated the third slalom victory in Jasná.
And this was not the only interesting number of the successful skiing weekend.
Take a look at some of the others:
- 9 – hours was the time needed to change a piste to the biggest natural stands in the finish area
