The only parallel of the cup has rewarded, once again, three athletes who have never been on the podium so far. The story of the 24-year-old Slovenian, however, is really special and now let's wait for her in "her" slalom.

Slokar, Stjernesund and Lysdahl, a first for three and many smiles on the podium of the PGS in Lech / Zuers.
For several reasons, there is only so much joy for the athletes who today took the podium number 1 in the World Cup, which probably will not even be the last, especially for the winner, a talent that goes by the name of Andreja Slokar .
Thea Louise Stjernesund herself, who had dominated the qualifiers and seemed to be heading towards the triumph that would have crowned in the best way a fairytale day for the Norwegians (three in the first six, but let's talk about some of the protagonists of the Cortina world gold in the team event), applauded Slokar's success and said she was “very happy for a result that rewards the hard work of many years. For me it is an incredible result ”.
The person directly concerned, the “new” 24 year old (she turned years old last October 15) grew up in Aidussina, in the heart of the Karst, reacted with the usual phlegm to her first triumph in the World Cup. What is striking about Andreja, in fact, is the calm and a hidden but fierce determination, which we had already noticed after the amazing fifth place in the world slalom in Cortina, the best result at these levels to date.
Even in that case, Slokar had pointed out that she could get much higher, she who had the 9th place in last season's slalom in Jasna as the best finish in CdM. Before the night in the Flexen Arena. "What can I say, it is the first victory even if I had already obtained good results in slalom - said the Slovenian to the FIS microphones, in the post-race interview - This is a very different discipline from the two techniques I prefer, but it is beautiful at the same way to win.
Now, however, on my way there are the Levi slaloms, where I have already trained (for almost two weeks, after the opening in Soelden and before returning towards Lech / Zuers in the last few hours, ed) and I point to to do well".
