A very heavy mistake in the team combination under the team combination under the Team combination underdrew Dürr, so that in the end the duo only landed in 17th place. The first world champions in this new discipline became the Americans Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin.
The two were 0.39 seconds ahead of the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami and Wendy Holdener. Bronze went to the Austrians Stephanie Venier and Katharina troop. The second German team with Kira Weidle-Winkelmann and Jessica Hilzinger did not get into the rating because Hilzinger left the slalom.
Actually, Aicher had presented well for a medal in the morning: the 21-year-old showed a strong journey and landed in second place with 0.23 seconds behind Lauren Macuga from the USA. So Dürr went into the crucial goal run with this gap, where she was in the lead for a long time, but then slipped away shortly before the finish and almost failed. She saves herself, but then had more than four seconds behind.
This Wednesday (10 a.m./1:15 p.m./ZDF and Eurosport) is the team combination of the men. After weak speed races, the DSV is only sending a team consisting of veteran Romed Baumann and Slalom-Ace Linus Straßer.
