In front of his audience, and the day after a 3e giant place, the American has already won her second victory of the winter after a slalom in Levi (Finland) two weeks ago.
Last season, she broke Swede Ingemar Stenmark’s record for victories on the world circuit (86), and continues to improve this mark by heading towards 100 successes.
“This track is incredible. The crowd helps me here, they are so noisy, I even hear them shouting at each intermediate time,” she greeted on NBC.
