After taking the first run, the French star confirmed her domination, racing in flat lights on the Schlossberg course. Her performance in the second run was also excellent, especially in the middle part of the course, where she increased her lead, thus securing her first victory in Lienz.
Petra Vlhova (SVK) took the second step of the podium, 0.30 secons behind the winner, gaining two positions compared to the first run. On the podium again, the Swedish Sara Hector, third sitting behind by 0.38 seconds, also thanks to an exceptional final part where she recovered more than two tenths.
Federica Brignone (ITA) almost made a sensational comeback and finished fourth, 0.64 seconds behind Worley.
