Hector's collapse: Missed top ten

Sara Hector had a good position after the first run in the giant slalom competition in Sestriere. But in the second run, it didn't go nearly as well. The Swede finished in 13th place in the second World Cup competition after the World Championship.

After the first run, Sara Hector was fifth, 39 hundredths behind leading Alice Robinson, and had a good position to bounce back after the World Championship disappointment.

Then Saturday ended in a low note for the 32-year-old. Hector didn't get it together at all in the second run and dropped significantly on the results board. When all skiers had finished, the Swede was no better than 13th.

The winner was Federica Brignone, Italy.

It was also a tough day for American star Mikaela Shiffrin. The American was a whole 2.50 behind Robinson after one run, and missed the second run.

The big joy for the Swedish part was instead Lisa Nyberg. The 22-year-old stood out in the second run for a fine climb from 26th to 16th place. Estelle Alphand finished 21st.
