Canada’s Erin Mielzynski back in top-10, racing to ninth in World Cup
SEMMERING, Austria — Canada’s Erin Mielzynski is back in the top 10, racing to a ninth-place finish in a World Cup slalom.
The Toronto skier had a tough start to the season, but pushed hard on Thursday’s second run to climb three spots into ninth place.
“It feels amazing to be back in the top 10, but it felt really incredible to be comfortable on my skis, and be able to start putting my race plan into action,” Mielzynski said. “I finally felt like myself, and with that, I know I can push myself harder.
“Today, I stood in the start and imagined that all of my loved ones were at the bottom and I was going to ski for them. I’m really happy to head into the New Year with this result under my belt.”
