In the Killington World Cup giant slalom, Zrinka secured a career-best second place, marking her first-ever podium in this discipline. After ranking fifth in the first run, she delivered an exceptional second run, clocking the second-fastest time, just 0.54 seconds behind winner Sara Hector of Sweden.
On Sunday, Ljutić continued her strong form, finishing sixth in the slalom, 1.27 seconds behind winner Camille Rast.
These performances affirm that Croatian skiing has much to anticipate in the coming years. Ljutić is on a promising path to joining legends like Janica and Ivica Kostelić, continuing Croatia’s proud skiing tradition.
Congratulations to Zrinka on this outstanding achievement, and best wishes for the rest of the season!
