Lenzerheide 2018 will be remembered in the Slovenian history of women's alpine skiing as a very special event. Not only did Ana Bucik stepped onto the podium on Friday for the first time in her career – Meta Hrovat repeated the success a day later.

The 19-year-old was on the 14th place after the first run, and managed to perform excellently in the final, setting the second fastest time of the final run. In the end, Hrovat only had to congratulate the winner Tessa Worley and the second-placed Viktoria Rebensburg. Both had successfully defended their positions from the first run.

Ana Drev also near the podium
The giant slalom has been Slovenia's strongest discipline, and results in Lenzerheide once again confirm this. Ana Drev finished in fifth place, Tina Robnik was 14th, and the bronze hero of the previous day Ana Bucik also won points for 26th place.

Šteharnik set ski poles for second run
The second track was designed by the Slovenian coach Denis Šteharnik, which his team made good use of. Hrovat had come among the top ten only once before – the eight place in Lienz last December had been considered the success of her career.
