Maze relaxes but still wins

World and Olympic Champion skier Tina Maze of Slovenia enjoyed herself on the slopes of Lenzerheide on Sunday (March 29), winning the Red Bull SKiLLS race, a combination of all four classic skiing disciplines.

Combining super-G, slalom, downhill and giant slalom, the fun event gives the top skiers a chance to relax but still test their skills.

Maze beat Denise Feierabend of Switzerland and Klara Krizova of Czech Republic to take the honors and said afterwards: “it’s the end of the season and we have some fun, it’s relaxed and I love it when I can ski like that.”

The men’s event was won by Adreien Theaux of France, a super G specialist who took third place at the World Championships in Vail/Beaver Creek.

Defending SKiLLS champion Mauro Caviezel of Switzerland finished second with compatriot Gilles Roulin third.
