Despite showing a solid performance, she finished with a time that places her two seconds and 17 hundredths behind the leading American skier, Mikaela Shiffrin.
Leona Popović started later in the competition and demonstrated strong skiing skills, finishing just behind Ljutić but also facing a considerable deficit of two seconds and 42 hundredths to Shiffrin.
