Disappointment for Årsjö – Swedish on the podium anyway

Ebba Årsjö started the World Cup season with three superior victories. In French Tignes, it went worse – Årsjö crashed in the first run in Monday's slalom. More fun then for Aaron Lindström, who secured a podium spot.

Both Swedish para-sport stars compete in the standing skier class. For Lindström, Monday ended with a fine second place, after climbing one position in the second run. He was ultimately 86 hundredths behind the winner Arthur Bauchet from France.

A wonderful day. I'm incredibly pleased with a second place, says Aaron Lindström to the Swedish Para Sports Federation.

For Ebba Årsjö, it unusually ended with a disqualification. The 23-year-old Swede usually dominates her class and in the World Cup premiere in Steinach am Brenner, Austria, the 23-year-old Swede took three straight victories: two in super-G and one in the combination.

The margin of victory down to the five competitors was then a whole four seconds in super-G and almost 13 seconds in the combination.

Årsjö also gets a chance for revenge already on Tuesday when it's time for more slalom, both for ladies and men, in Tignes.
