00:00 The peak performance rider she's been on a slow burn this year just increasing the results sitting now in
00:07 second overall and Hedvig Vessel poised to pounce on any mistake that any other rider makes as she is making her way across
00:17 the extreme exposure at the top of the Vilti loader
00:20 Already catching some air there as she drops in from start one and carries some speed across
00:29 Above the Hausl
00:31 Yeah, zooming across here
00:33 Catching a little feature on the approach
00:37 What happened to Zuza will be looming there in Hedvig's mind as she takes a slightly different angle and stomps it
00:45 Hedvig Vessel a clean the first rider clean off the Heusel Cliff and a solid performance so far for Hedvig
00:51 Giving the people what they need bringing the stoke levels up lining up
00:55 Running out of gas a little bit there on that feature, but I think that was on purpose Anna as she changed direction
01:03 We haven't really oh and Hedvig getting caught up by a little bit of a snow snake there as conditions definitely changing
01:10 Rapidly here on the Vilti loader you can see the old slide debris
01:14 As Hedvig's making her way through this tricky snow down towards the lower section
01:21 so she was able to hold on to that because she is
01:24 You know extremely extremely
01:26 Coordinated
01:29 big backy
01:30 Good landing
01:32 All right, well Hedvig Vessel now
01:34 Really truly into the run laying out the backflip with a perfect landing
01:39 That's where we have saw Astrid have a slight bobble the the speed here coming down a little bit
01:45 But it's because she's aiming to catch another feature as Hedvig Vessel now
01:49 Popping off the side
01:54 And just making a way through those bubbles it looks like pretty funky snow here
01:59 Yeah
01:59 I mean the speed that Hedvig is riding here tells you exactly how tricky the snow is and and I think for those viewers at
02:06 Home looking at this going why is she going slow like that?
02:08 we cannot overstate how weird that snow is and as the Sun gets on it it gets sticky and
02:14 Everything changes so for sure Hedvig probably making a wise choice there and not to throw away a great top section
02:21 With with some kind of wonky move in the in the difficult snow
02:26 Getting some chairs as she comes in to finish there
02:30 So, let's check out the action
02:41 Taking some serious air off the Halsal and having a solid landing four points there
02:48 I really like the way she kind of absorbed the takeoff. That's where Zuza got bucked and then this was absolutely
02:54 Textbook every single squat and deadlift that Hedvig did in the offseason paid off right there. Absolutely
03:00 You can see it's a reasonably flat landing a heavy landing and she was just perfectly centered over her skis to ride out strong
03:07 Yeah
03:08 that was a solid solid run from Hedvig and showing that veteran savvy in the
03:13 Halsal cliff approach as we
03:16 Know in one run
03:18 Many different kinds of snow and Hedvig dropping an 82
03:22 3-3 and putting herself in the hot seat
03:26 So a big score there for Hedvig Vessel as she is gonna take over the hot seat Astrid Seelius will be
03:33 Kicked out for the moment as we see big hugs from these two riders. This is the future of free
