Elvedina Muzaferija missed points by two hundredths of a second

(Patria) - Bosnia and Herzegovina's best skier Elvedina Muzaferija was only two hundredths of a second away from her first points in the current World Cup season today.

Muzaferija finished the race in Cortina d’Ampezzo in 31st position with a +2.60 second deficit to the leader Stephanie Venier, and immediately behind Michelle Niederwieser who achieved a time of +2.58 seconds.

Today's race, which was held as part of the Audi FIS World Cup in Italy, once again showed the major problems that organizers are facing.

On a very demanding icy track, there was no official training yesterday, and today's competition was marked by a severe fall by American Mikaela Shiffrin.
