Slovakia's visually impaired skiers excelled on the third day of
competition at the IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup in Tignes, France on
Thursday (30 January) with Jakub Krako and Henrietta Farkasova both
sealing victories in giant slalom events. For Farkasova (2:02.58), who
was guided by Natalia Subrtova, victory was particularly impressive as
it came in her first World Cup race of the season following an injury
sustained at last year's World Championships, an event she won downhill
and slalom world titles at. The Slovakian pair finished ahead of Great
Britain's in-form Kelly Gallagher and guide Charlotte Evans (2:03.06),
who recorded their first World Cup giant slalom victory earlier this
month. Races continue in Tignes on Friday (30 January) with the
super-combined, before skiers head to St. Moritz, Switzerland, from 3-6
February for the next World Cup. The IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals
will be held in Tarvisio, Italy, from 24-27 February and will be the
last opportunity for skiers to compete ahead of Sochi 2014 where alpine
skiing competitions begin on 8 March.
