The second competition day of the FIS Alpine Junior World Championships was the most eventful with four medal decisions.
The women and men competed in the super-G today. The course set-up was similar to the Women's World Cup the weekend before and very demanding. Accordingly, both races were marked by some DNFs - Did Not Finish. Especially on the men's side the super-G was a thriller until the very last racer with many high bibs reached the Top 10.
In the women's race, Lara Colturi was in a class of her own and is now the youngest ever gold medallist at a Junior World Ski Championships.
Results of the JWSC Super G:
Women:
Gold: Colturi Lara (ALB) 1:01.64
Silver: Grob Stefanie (SUI) +0.65
