Tessa Worley wins the Lienz giant

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.
