Alpine Skiing Beijing 2022 | Women's Giant Slalom highlights
Thirty-two hundredths on our leader, Sjoerdesund.
Thorne just gets twisted a little sideways,
already on the second gate there.
A little error coming onto that flat in that compression.
Just the way she's staying over her skis and working through the turns,
she's looking pretty confident, staying aggressive with her body position
and diving into the turns.
Finding thirty-six hundredths in that middle section.
Here she comes, three gates from home.
Here's Laragu Parami going to take the lead here in Beijing.
Yes, she has. By nearly half a second.
The world champion in giant slalom has laid down a marker in run two.
Bronze medallist in Pyeongchang four years ago.
And it's down to half a second here.
Brignone into that final pitch.
She's four gates from home.
Brignone to take it away from Laragu.
One fifty-six, forty-one.
She's in. Five forty-four hundredths.
Brignone is on the podium at the Olympic Games in giant slalom
for the second consecutive games.
The World Cup leader in giant slalom,
the quickest after the first run, has an advantage of point four two
over Federica Brignone, our leader.
And a mistake from Hector on the opening turns,
but it won't worry her because she's had plenty of mistakes on second runs
in the World Cup this year,
and she's brought home the money and the medals to go with it.
And here she extends her lead now into the rhythm
of the flatter part of the course.
Has she extended the green light?
Let's take a look here.
It's the way that she releases between the turns.
She still has the green light just point four three seconds.
But the angles that you can get in the turn
and then the release between the turns, that's where she finds her speed.
Sarah Hector has 19 hundredths of a second to play with.
That is not a lot in ski racing terms.
She is four gates from home.
Will she take the Olympic medal?
155.97 is the time.
She's done it by point two eight.
And Sarah Hector of Sweden is the Olympic champion.
Thank you so much for your attention.
