It did not go as Sara Hector had hoped for in the giant slalom.
She got off to a good start on the run but got wrong in several turns and lost a lot of time.
In the finish she was 2.24 behind leader Mikaela Shiffrin who had a really good ride just before Hector.
- I went around and where it was icy I went really bad, says Hector to SVT after the ride.
"Became insecure"
Hector says that she saw at the inspection that there was hard ice on the slopes.
- I knew I would have to go well there but then I just became unsure when I get there.
- It's something I have to work on.
It's tough to turn such a thing around in the middle of a championship, it would have been fun if I could.
It has become a very mental thing for me.
That's what makes it really hard to stay calm, says Hector.
It was not just Hector who had a tough day.
The big home jump Federica Brignone, with start number four, ran out in the first run.
Even Alphand after
Hector says that it is now a matter of just taking a chance in the second run.
- But the day is over.
The competition's second Swede, Estelle Alphand, also had a tough competition.
With starting number 25, she was 2.31 behind Shiffrin.
