Ester Ledecká is back in Crans-Montana with a smile on her face

Ester Ledecká was injured last season, and she’s often been ill this winter, but she was back in Crans-Montana with a smile on her face last week in the European Cup. The Czech took 2nd place in the first downhill on the Mont Lachaux piste, and she was also the fastest in training for the World Cup downhills on Thursday this week.

The double Olympic snowboard Super-G and parallel giant champion (PyeongChang 2018) has had a turbulent relationship with Crans-Montana. However since her slow start in 2016, the skier from Liberec has done more than just come to terms with the Valais resort…she has four podium finishes in Crans-Montana to her name, including a win.

The versatile 28-year-old athlete particularly appreciates the Swiss public. She likes the fact that the Valais fans support all the athletes as they cross the Mont Lachaux finish line. We look forward to seeing you on Friday to applaud this great champion once again!
