Andreja Slokar, paralelna junakinja
Andreja Slokar, a parallel heroine
Written by Sabina Lavrič translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Andreja Slokar je nova slovenska junakinja na seznamu zmagovalk svetovnega pokala v alpskem smučanju.
Andreja Slokar is the new Slovenian heroine on the list of winners of the Alpine Skiing World Cup.
24-letna smučarka iz Ajdovščine je v soboto zmagala na posamični paralelni tekmi v alpskem smučanju v avstrijskem Lechu.
The 24-year-old skier from Ajdovščina won the individual parallel alpine skiing competition in Lech, Austria on Saturday.
Hitra je bila že v kvalifikacijah, nato se je potrudila in suvereno odsmučala tudi na tekmi, in tekmice ji niso bile kos – ustavilo je ni niti močno sneženje.
She was already fast in the qualifications, and the competition was no match for her – not even heavy snow stopped her.
Andreja je postala enajsta slovenska smučarka z vsaj eno zmago v svetovnem pokalu.
Andreja became the eleventh Slovenian skier with at least one victory in the World Cup.
Po zmagi je povedala, da se je zelo zabavala na tej posebni tekm, ki na sporedu je le enkrat na leto.
After the win, she said she had a lot of fun at this special match, which is only on the schedule once a year.
»Resnično uživam v paralelnem smučanju, čeprav ga ne treniram veliko. Zabavno je, rada tekmujem, ko imam nekoga, ki ga vidim ob sebi,« je še dodala smučarka.
“I really enjoy parallel skiing, even though I don’t train it much. It's fun, I like to compete when I can see the other person near me, "added the skier.
V nedeljo tudi sta na paralelni tekmi nastopila Štefan Hadalin in Žan Kranjec. Štefan se je prebil v četrtfinale, Žan pa je ostal poražen v osmini finala.
On Sunday, Štefan Hadalin and Žan Kranjec also competed in a parallel race. Štefan made it to the quarterfinals, while Žan was defeated in the round before.
To sta bili edini posamični paralelni tekmi v tej sezoni svetovnega pokala.
These were the only individual parallel matches this World Cup season.
Na tej preizkušnji tekmovalci in tekmovalke smučajo drug ob drugem na vzporednih enakih, a krajših veleslalomskih progah.
In this trial, the competitors ski side by side on parallel and identical but shorter giant slalom tracks.
Vozijo tako na rdeči kot modri progi. Zmagata smučar oziroma smučarka, ki se jima uspe prebiti v finale in tudi tam premagati svojega nasprotnika.
They ski on both the red and blue tracks. The winner is the skier who manages to make it to the finals and beat their opponent there as well.
