Zrinka Ljutić, a Croatian ski racer, improved her position in the giant slalom event at the Winter Olympics, finishing 17th after a stronger second run. She acknowledged her improvement from the first run, expressing satisfaction despite a minor mistake that caused her to lose some momentum toward the end of the race. Ljutić initially placed 23rd after the first run but managed to significantly enhance her performance during the second run, which she noted was much more aligned with the characteristics of veleslalom racing.

The challenging nature of the course was highlighted by Ljutić, as she described the specific difficulties of the track and how the second run suited her better than the first. She credited the gold medalist, Italy's Federica Brignone, for her remarkable skiing skills, calling her fast, brave, and experienced. Ljutić's respect for her competitors shines through, as she recognizes the level of skill required to compete at this elite level.
