Tessa Worley won on Tuesday with the giant way from Lienz to Austria. In the lead at the end of the first round, the skier from Grand-Bornand did not tremble in the second to win ahead of the Slovakian Petra Vlhova (+ 0 ”30) and the Swedish Sara Hector (+ 0” 38 ). A little over a month before the Beijing Olympics, the 32-year-old Haute-Savoie takes her first victory of the season and the 33rd podium of his career.
Almost a year later
At the foot of the podium of the two giants organized in Courchevel last week (4th and 5th), Tessa Worley, who left with the number 1 bib, reacted in the best possible way in the absence of two of the top names in the discipline, the American Mikaela Shiffrin and Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, positive for Covid-19. The double world champion of the discipline thus signs her 15th victory on the World Cup circuit, the 15th in giant, almost a year after her last success at Kronplatz in Italy on January 26, 2021.
On the side of the other tricolors, the Isère Coralie Frasse-Sombet finished 13th, the Haute-Savoie Clara Direz takes the 20th place.
