The 26-year-old Ledecká drove in the Swiss resort, where she finished second in the downhill last year and third in the combination in 2020, time 1: 30.17 minutes. She won by 21 hundredths ahead of Norka Ragnhild Mowinckel, the third Austrian Cornelia Hütter was 42 hundredths behind her.
“The last time I ended up here in the networks, so I’m excited to have finished this time, which is better, and I’m happy that it’s the first place,” Ledecká said on television.
Ledecka was injured last week during slalom training in the middle of the Olympic combination, but the problem in the lower body was not serious. She has not shone in training in Switzerland yet, she set the fiftieth and fortieth time. “It was the worst workout I’ve ever done,” she said.
She has already shown perfect performance in the race. From the first split, she drove faster than Mowinckel, only four hundredths at a time, but after a great final passage, she beat Norka by 21 hundredths. Ledecká raised her hand after the finish and waved to the spectators, her parents Zuzana and Janek applauded at the finish.
