Anna Swenn-Larsson started with a stable first ride and was four in front of the second - a full 77 hundredths after the leader Petra Vlhova.
- She started quietly in the first race and I didn't think it would be enough, says SVT Sports expert Tobias Hellman.
After a superb second run, the Swede went to goal as one. Neither Katharina Liensberg nor Mikaela Shifrin, who left after Swenn-Larsson, succeeded raw on the Swedish. Only Vlhova was faster and won by a tenth.
Swenn-Larsson thus became second in Austria.
- I thought there was a possibility but in that case two perfect rides were required. She tricked me a little in the second ride, I was unsure on the move but it turned out to be tremendously fast, says Hellman, adding:
- She shows that she is in super shape - and even scares Shiffrin.
What do you think second place means?
- A lot. She has had a good season but this second place today, that she spurs Shiffrin and hangs on Vlhova, it is fantastic.
