TIRANA, December 27 /ATA/ After disappointment of the last race in France, where she failed to finish the competition, Lara Colturi has made a great comeback to the Alpine Skiing World Cup.

The Italian-Albanian skier ranked third in Run 1 in the Giant Slalom in Semmering.

She achieved a time of 57.28 seconds, only 0.13 seconds behind the first place.

Olympic champion Sara Hector led the tight women’s World Cup giant slalom after the opening run Saturday as discipline leader Alice Robinson skied out.

Chasing her first victory in nearly a year, Hector was 0.02 seconds faster than Austria’s Julia Scheib and 0.13 faster than Italian-born Lara Colturi, who starts for Albania.

The 19-year-old red and black skier Lara Colturi left behind many big names, including the dominant Alpine Skier, Mikaela Shiffrin, who stood the 8th.

On Sunday, Lara Colturi will compete again in Semmering, in the Special Slalom discipline. /m.q/j.p/p.s./
