Slovenia’s Ilka Stuhec doubles up on downhill wins in Lake Louise
LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Ilka Stuhec always knew she was fast on her skis. That belief is widespread after a pair of downhill wins in Lake Louise, Alta.
“I think all the world knows right now,” the Slovenian said Saturday after her second victory in as many days.
The 26-year-old from Maribor hadn’t stood on a World Cup podium in any ski discipline prior to her downhill double here.
Sunday’s super-G concludes the Audi FIS World Cup in Lake Louise. With another win, Stuhec can join Lindsey Vonn of the U.S. as the only women to sweep all three races.
