- It was a bit unclean down here but otherwise it felt good, says Hector to SVT Sport about his first ride.

Behind Hector, another 25 hundredths, we find another star, the American Mikaela Shiffrin who is third after the first run.



- Towards the precipice I braked a lot and it went a little wrong and all speed died.

But all in all good I'm good with, Hector explains that the green turned red after half the ride.



How do you think in front of others?


- It's just trying to give the iron and try to go cleaner down here.

Hector has four podium places out of five possible in giant slalom, of which two wins this season.

The Swede also leads the giant slalom cup and is fifth in the overall world cup behind stars such as Shiffrin and Vlhova.
