Congrats to our Supergirl! Ester STR Ledecká won the 2016-17 World Cup season’s second parallel giant slalom staged in Rogla (SLO). The  World Cup leader told us about the race: “It’s always tough here as it is an hill which is easy – and that makes is so hard to succeed. All the riders are on the very same level. There are only some very small differences. You have to have a good tech and team behind you and be very good prepared in order to go every run as fast as you can. I don’t have a special secret. I’m just focusing on every single run trying to be the first one down in the finish.” We are very proud and happy!
