After all the weather problems with the 50th Golden Fox the first victory today was achieved the moment, when the first racer started Sunday's slalom race. The organisers eventually succeeded!

After the first run the best American slalom racer of the last and this season Mikaela Schifrin takes the lead.Tina Maze skied too slowly to be in a position to fight for the top positions in the second run. Among the thirty skiers another Slovenian, Maruša Ferk, managed to place herself.Weather in Kranjska Gora improved at least a bit, the temperatures dropped and only 20 - 30 centimeters of snow fell during the night, which was removed by 200 ski workers during 4.00 and 6.00 in the morning.After the jury had inspected the track, they allowed the race to be started as previously planned.The organisers of the 50th Golden Fox thus won this battle with the nature, which didn't provide enough snow in Maribor and which then exaggerated with snow and icy rain in Kranjska Gora.
