(Sportcom) – Take two for skiers Valérie Grenier and Sarah Bennett who finally started their World Cup season on Saturday in Killington, Vermont. They were due to be at the curtain raiser in Sölden in October, but the women’s giant slalom event was canceled due to bad weather conditions.
Unfortunately for the two Quebecers, their day did not go as they would have liked. Bennett is the one who obtained the best result in Quebec with a 48th place.
“I think I can get a little more. The skiing was there, but it lacked the intensity,” Bennett said after the competition.
For her part, Valérie Grenier could not complete the qualification.
Switzerland’s Laura Gut-Behrami took top honors in Vermont. Italian Marta Bassino (+0.07 seconds) finished second while Sweden’s Sara Hector (+0.20 seconds) took third place on the podium.
Sunday, it will be Laurence St-Germain’s turn to be in the starting gate of the slalom race in Killington.
