In the second round, which was built by her coach Andrej Prevuzňák, she set the thirteenth time on the Schlossberg ski slope. “I didn’t use it as much as I could. The coach won’t be extremely excited about me. I didn’t do my knees very technically well,” said Dubovska, who did not reach the sixth place in the top ten. She lost 1.68 seconds to Vlhova.

Between goals he tries to add on aggressively. “I’m trying to take more risks to move forward, but I still have a lot of work to do and I hope it will improve.”

The twelfth place is the second best place of the season for Dubovská. She was eighteenth in Killington and thirteenth and sixth in Levi, which is also her career high. The second Czech competitor Elese Sommerová dropped out in the morning’s first round.
