Robert Martí and Anna Oller winners of the Giant slalom U16.
The winners of the Giant slalom in the U16 category followed different strategies to claim the first place on the podium. Whilst Robert Martí (AND1) found himself in a very tight group of skiers at the end of the first heat, when there was a difference of only 10 hundredth of a second, and had to risk it all on the second heat, the Spaniard went strong on the first heat. In fact, she was the only female skier who registered less than 44” on the first heat and could take it a bit easier on the second one. As for the Andorran, on the second heat, he managed to create a gap of almost 1 second away from his closest rivals Marcus Vorre from Denmark and Djordy Schaaf from the Netherlands. Another Andorran skier, Alex Rius, couldn’t quite make the final podium since the British skier Iain Innes beat him on the fight for the fifth place by only 23 hundredth of a second.
