Bib 33 - Olympic slalom surprise: Katja Koren (Lillehammer 1994)

Slovenian Katja Koren surprised everybody when she took the lead in women's 1994 Olympic Slalom. She had bib 33 and started long after favorites left the finish area. Koren's PB in slalom at the time was 13th place and was considered more as speed specialist. In second run Swiss Vreni Schneider blasted from 5th position after half-time and only young Slovenian could prevent historic third gold medal for Swiss veteran. Koren had fantastic 2nd run as well but then made some small mistakes at the bottom and won a bronze medal which was still a huge success for 18-year old skier

Results:
1. Vreni Schneider (SUI) 1.56.01, 2. Elfi Eder (AUT) +0.34, 3. Katja Koren (SLO) +0.60
