Anna finished 14th in the giant slalom at the World Cup finals at Bromio, Italy. That was enough to keep her 4th position in the giant slalom standings.
11th March:
Anna finished 14th in the Sestriere GS. The "bad" result was a combination of unsharp edges on the skis and not so good skiing, Anna said after the race. Despite achieving the lowest result of the season, Anna closed the gap on Anita Wachter a little in the GS standings. Wachter didn't qualify for the 2nd run, and with a good (podium at least) result at the finals in Bormio next Saturday, Anna can take 3rd place in the GS standings.
17th February:
In the GS on homesnow in �re Anna was 10th, 2.33 seconds behind the leader after the first run. In the 2nd run she skied much better and moved up to 5th, 2.9 seconds off the winner's time.
13th February:
With a good 2nd run, Anna moved from 22nd to 11th place in today's slalom in Santa Caterina, and her results in slalom this season prooves that Anna belongs among the top skiers in slalom as well as in giant slalom. On Thursday (17th Feb.) Anna will try to repeat her success from Cortina when �re hosts a giant slalom, and since she lives there, all her friends and family will be there watching and cheering for her.
11th February:
Anna took it easy in her first ever WC super-g. She finished 35th, with a time almost six seconds slower than the winner. "I ski without mistakes, but I don't know how to get the speed", Anna said after the race.
10th February:
Tomorrow in Santa Caterina, Anna will race her first World Cup super-g.
23rd January:
ANNA WON THE CORTINA GIANT SLALOM!!! Today Anna won the first World Cup victory in her career. Read more here!
11th January:
By making a mistake just before the flatter section of the course, Anna lost a lot of time and finished only 27th in the FIS super-g race in Castelrotto, Italy. Still, her result was enough to get permission to race in the World Cup super-g races when the FIS pointlist has been updated by the end of January.
9th January:
In today's slalom in Berchtesgaden, Anna was 12th after the first run. In the 2nd it looked like she had good speed and really had the go, but unfortunatly she straggled a gate, and out she went. She wasn't too disappointed after the race: "I did my best and it felt good as long as it lasted". Like Anja P�rson, Anna will go to the FIS super-g races in Italy on Tuesday and Wednesday.
8th January:
With a good 2nd run, Anna moved from 16th to 9th place in the Berchtesgaden GS.
6th January:
Anna set a new personal best in slalom today in Maribor. After the first run she was 10th, but in the second she moved up to finish 6th, and finally she had two good runs.
5th January:
Like in the latest giant slalom, Anna finished 10th in today's Maribor GS. And like after the latest GS race she said that she was happy to finish 10th without being in good form. After the race Anna also said that she can find form anytime, perhaps even in time for tomorrows slalom. Before the season started, Anna's goal was to finish in the top 3 in the GS World Cup standings, and if she will be able to acheive her goal, she needs to get some very good results in the five giant slaloms that remains.
29th December:
After a very good first run Anna was 9th fastest in the slalom in Lienz and on her way to a new personal best (13th in �re two seasons ago). After only 10-15 seconds in the second run, she got a stop, and her speed dropped drastically. She managed to stay in the course, but had to start all over. She finished 27th, last of the skiers who made it to the finish, but at least she got some World Cup points, and she can be very satisfied with her first run.
28th December:
Anna finished 10th in the Lienz giant slalom. The Swedish coach said after the race that Anna isn't in very good form right now, but that finishing 10th today shows that she has moved up her "lowest level" from last season.
12th December:
Today Anna showed that her new-found slalomform from last weekend wasn't a one-time thing. With a good 2nd run she finished 15th, only two places from her personal best from �re two seasons ago. If her good slalomform continues, it won't take long until we find her name in the top 10, or..?
9th December:
Anna seems to have lost some of that form she showed in the two first giant slaloms of the season. In the last giant slalom she fell, and today she finished 13th.
5th December:
For the first time in a while Anna was invited back for the 2nd run in a slalom competition. She was 19th after the first run, but lost a couple of places and finished 23rd.
4th December:
Anna had the lead in the giant slalom standings before the race, and wore the traditional red bip. Unfortunatly she made an "inside-ski-mistake" and fell after having the 4th quickest split time in the first run. Now she lost the lead in the cup, but what's most important is that she is ok.
19th November:
After the first run Anna was 5th, but a small mistake in the 2nd run cost a little too much time and she finished 6th.
30th October:
Anna finished 2nd in the opening giant slalom of the year. She was 2nd after the first run, and was able to maintain her position through the second run, despite of the heavy fog that caused difficult visibility. Today Anna was the runner-up for the second time in the World Cup. In the last giant slalom of last year, in Sierra Nevada, she was also 2nd.
