With eight giant slalom races already held in the World Cup series this year, Austrian skier Julia Scheib has claimed victory in four of them, highlighting her as a key contender in this Olympic event.
Among her competitors, Australia’s Alice Robinson has two World Cup wins under her belt this season, while Switzerland’s Camille Rast and Sweden’s Sara Hector, the latter being the 2022 Olympic champion, also add to the intense competition. The American skier Mikaela Shiffrin, a standout Olympian with a gold medal from Pyeongchang 2018, is looking to break her medal drought after a disappointing performance in Beijing. With the pressure of expectations and fierce rivals, the race is poised to be a nail-biter.
