Mojca Suhadolc was not the first racer from
her team to win a Super-G when she won her
very first World Cup race at Lake Louise
in November 1999- in fact she's the third
to achieve this performance after Katja Koren
and Alenka Dovzan in the early 1990's. But
in her 8th World Cup season, she became the
first Slovenian to clinch a place on the
podium in this specialty at the award ceremony
durinb the Finals at Bormio. Mojca was finally
3rd behind Austria's Renate Goetschl and
Canada's Meranie Turgeon and reached a career
best 16th position in the Overall classification.
Quite a comeback for that athlete who was
only 59th, 53rd and 48th in the previous
seasons in the final World Cup standings.
She struggled for a long time after bursting onto scene in December 1995
at Val d'Isere when she was 2nd in a GS and 3rd in a Super-G in two consecutive
days. An outstanding GS skier in the past, Mojca was slowed down afterwards
by injuries and health problems and lost much ground on her rivals.
In 1993, after being 9th in GS at the FIS World's in Morioka, the sensitive
Slovenian already tore her right anterior cruciate ligament in a training
accident in Chile. She missed the entire 1993/94 season including the Lillehammer
Games where her team clinched its first Olympic medals.
From 1996 to 1999, she focused on the speed events, but only skied twice among the top-10
- both times at Lake Louise
where she was
8th in 1997 and 7th in
1998. In those years,
she was often plagued with
lack of concentration
during her races. In fact,
in 1997, she skied
out in Sestriere in both
GS and Super-G and
she was only 24th in Super-G
at Nagano in
1998.
During her 1999/ 2000 season, Mojca was again pretty consistent with five
top-6 finishes.
She made also some progress
in downhill,
conquering an excellent
3rd place at Cortina
d'Ampezzo - equalling the
best Slovenian
performance of her good
friend Spela Bracun,
3rd at St Moritz in December.
Both colleagues aim now to confirm these great results after switching
to Atomic in the past summer. |
