"After yesterday's wild weather, today's condition were much more favorable for the tech women, blessing the World Cup skiers with a bluebird day. Sunday, December 7, saw the second of two Giant Slalom races at Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. Sunday's podium was a redemption podium with Austria's Julia Scheib and Sweden's Sara Hector-who had both recorded a DNF yesterday-claiming first and second place, respectively."
"First skier Thea Louise Stjernesund had a score to settle after ending yesterday's race with a DNF, after placing fourth after run 1. Her first run today seemed more measured and cautious after yesterday's mistake, and she set the pace with 1:08.80. Team USA's Paula skied in 0.25 seconds behind her, so the time appeared competitive, but then came yesterday's winner, Alice Robinson, who stormed into the lead 1.36 seconds ahead of Stjernesund and 1.61 seconds ahead of Moltzan, shaking up the status quo."
