The Czech competitors did not fit into the final sixteen in Austria in the morning qualification for the elimination fights. Martina Dubovská finished 33rd in a total of two races, Ester Ledecká finished in 44th place.

Twenty-five-year-old Vlhová passed the third fastest time out of the qualification, then managed all close fights in the elimination rounds. She won the eighth finals with Adriana Jelineková from the Netherlands and the quarterfinals with the Italian Federico Brignone in the sum of two races by four hundredths of a second, in the semifinals she crossed the Swedish Sara Hectorová by only a hundredth.

In the final, she won over Moltzan’s first race. In the second, although the American, for whom she was still the tenth place in the World Cup, withdrew the loss, but in the end she fell. The third place was taken by the Swiss winner of the qualification Lara Gutová-Behrami.

The men’s parallel race will take place on Friday and Kryštof Krýzl will also be at the start.
