Austrian Stephanie Brunner will open 54. Golden Fox race at Maribor's alternate racecourse in Podkoren, yet we need to wait for first seven giant slalom competitors to get top ranking.

Tessa Worley (FRA), leading in world cup giant slalom and a winner of two Golden Fox giant slalom races (Maribor 2017 and 2012 in Kranjska Gora), will start as fifth; Federica Brignone (ITA), winner of last giant slalom race in Lienz, will start as sixth. American Mikaela Shiffrin, who has already won at previous seven races in this season, will start as seventh.

 

All this could be »reckoning without one's host«, since Slovenians are determined to reach for the top at home race. Slovenian top ranking group includes Ana Drev, ranked 6th in Lienz, Tina Robnik (ranked 11th in Lienz) with bib number 20 and Meta Horvat (ranked 8th at previous giant slalom race) with bib number 28.
