Victory outright for Årsjö: "Glad the day is over"

Alpine para-ski star Ebba Årsjö missed her World Cup debut last week due to a stomach bug. When she made her debut for the season, she was an instant winner. The Swede won the giant slalom competition in St. Moritz in commanding style.

Årsjö was a full 2.13 seconds ahead of second place Aurélie Richard, France, and 4.07 ahead of third place Chinese Zhu Wenjing.

I was a little nervous. I've had a stomach ache, so I felt very weak and not so strong. It wasn't the best first run, but I made up for it a little in the second. I'm just glad this day is over, says Årsjö, who has already been selected for the Paralympics in Italy in March.

The competitions continue in Switzerland with giant slalom also on Saturday and then slalom on Sunday.
