The two Slovenes won a total of five podium spots in Chamonix. The competition results also count in the World Cup standings.
“This is by all means a fantastic start to the season. One can only wish for a start like this. At the same time it confirms what we already know, that we’ve been working really well with our team and have had fantastic training in the last period. The awards are a great addition to the silver medals from the last European championships. I worked and prepared the most for the Lead discipline, which means the most to me. Yes, that’s the real climbing discipline for me,” said Markovič after her triumphant start to the season.
She won three medals in total – she won a silver medal in the final standings of the European Championship. The younger Garnbret took second place in both the World Cup and European Championship.
