Second in the Slalom on Sunday, second in the Giant Slalom on Saturday; Camille Rast puts in a stunning performance in Semmering, Austria. "Camille Rast almost reached the top of the podium twice this weekend. Still, I reckon she will be satisfied with ending the year so well. She is getting close to the level that she wants to be at. These were really close deciders, but somehow the hundredths of a second are on her side," said HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber.” Camille Rast was in first place after the first run. Clocking the second fastest time on the second run, the 26-year-old Swiss athlete just missed her third World Cup victory by nine hundredths of a second. Four more HEAD Worldcup Rebels landed in the top ten with Wendy Holdener from Switzerland in sixth place, Cornelia Öhlund from Sweden seventh, Eliane Christen from Switzerland ninth, and Dzenifera Germane from Latvia in tenth place. For Eliane Christen, this is her first result in the top ten. In a Slalom that saw many athletes drop out, points were notched up by Lena Dürr from Germany in 17th place, Carla Mijares Ruf from Andorra bagging her first World Cup points in 18th place, Estelle Alphand from Sweden 19th, and Aline Höpli from Switzerland 20th.
