Sara Hector crashed out of the women's World Cup giant slalom in Åre, Sweden. The Swedish skier went off course near the end of her first run and slid into the safety netting. She was lying down briefly before getting up and skiing down on her own.
29 seconds behind the leader Camille Rast from Switzerland. The top 30 skiers from the first run advance to the second run, so Hector did not qualify.
