» Janica would have entered the 2nd run!
As a forerunner in the World cup slalom race in Bormio, Janica Kostelic had a great timing. She finished the 1st run in 55.29 seconds which was enough to be 47th and that would mean that she left 13 skiers behind by using half as much strength.

» With this statement I would like to address the entire Croatian, European and world's public on the occasion of the ill-intentioned and harsh attack by Croatia's weekly "Nacional" which has been forwarded to the entire world via news agencies.

I am deeply hurt and shocked by headlines about me and my family, published in the weekly, which link us to the greatest evil in the history of mankind, Nazism.

» Janica 17th in giant slalom, starting 5th in Sunday's slalom
On a course that loves skiers that are closer to the top, as Nika Fleiss and Ana Jelusic referred to it, Janica Kostelic was 17th. It was a giant slalom race in Maribor and Anja Paerson won, while Germany's Martina Ertl took the 3rd place, which was her best score since wining in Solden in 2000.
» Janica tiered but still finished 17th
It’s with a disappointing 17th place that Janica Kostelic ended the last giant slalom prior the World Championships in St Moritz – far behind the winner Anja Paerson. Quite a surprise after her outstanding 2nd place last week in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The triple Olympic champion lost 2, 20 seconds on the Swede in the first run. She was faster in the afternoon, but not good enough to achieve the same extraordinary comeback as in Italy. It’s quite possible that the skier from Zagreb, encouraged by thousands of fans here, begins to feel the fatigue of her intensive World Cup program. She was one of the few athletes this season to have started in all the competitions!
