More and more in history, and it could not be otherwise for such a special athlete.
The only one able to get to the neck, in the same edition of the Games, the Olympic gold in skiing and snowboarding, and now the only one in the ultra-fiftieth anniversary of the World Cup, to succeed in the maximum circuit both with two tools on his feet with a ... table.
Seventeen times in "his" sport, now a pure one in the white circus with the triumph in the downhill of Lake Louise which opened the season of speed. Ester Ledecka is really special and she confirmed it once again, dominating in the storm of the "Men''s Olympic", always with that bib 26 that led her to burn Anna Veith for a penny, on 17 February 2018 in the super g to five circles of PyeongChang.
"Also this time I think it's all true," the 24-year-old Czech joked in the Canadian post-race. "I risked it, it went well, but I knew it would be possible to have a good race," he said with his usual frankness. For her, on the other hand, Lake Louise is a special place considering that two years ago (it was December 2nd 2017) she caught her first of her four top ten in the World Cup, as well as the best result (7th place) until to date.
Furthermore, by winning the inaugural descent of the 2019/2020 season, Ledecka became the first Czech skier to achieve a success in the Cup in a different slalom and combined specialty (including males).
Whoever suffered the mockery is certainly Corinne Suter, who was waiting at the finish line dreaming of her first success among the "great", after the splendid double medal (silver and bronze between descent and super-g) at the last World of Are. "Of course it's a disappointment," the 25-year-old from Canton Schwyz confessed - but there was one better than me. I did everything pretty well, but it wasn't enough even if the podium is excellent, in these conditions. I'll try again on the second descent on Saturday. "
