Surprisingly, Stephanie Brunner was the best Austrian. The giant slalom specialist, who started the race with starting number 53, moved up thanks to a strong second place. In the second round, she advanced to eighth place in the second round and thus clinched her first top ten result in the slalom. Michaela Kirchgasser drove directly in front of 22-year-old Katharina Huber to eleventh place.
