"My first races of the year were ok, I made some good top 10 places, but the last four races I missed totally all my runs. But I chose this race and I'm happy, happy to make it. To be 1st and for Bastien (Midol) to be 2nd, I can't even tell what I'm feeling. It's amazing."

Giant Slalom
Tina Maze (Lange) grabs her 8th Giant Slalom podium in 8 races so far this season, the 21st in all disciplines. She ends 2^nd behind Anna Fenninger and ahead of Viktoria Rebensburg. The Slovenian breaks a new record becoming the first woman in World Cup history to make eight Giant Slalom podiums in one season (4 victories, 3 second places, 1 third place). "The slope was in a good state and I enjoyed skiing on it. I made a little mistake in the top section that cost me quite a lot of energy and therefore it was hard to keep up with Anna."

Slalom
Second of the first run, Tina Maze has still realized a strong second run and wins her second slalom this season after Maribor. There will be a big battle now for the Slalom crystal globe between Mikaela Shiffrin, 3^rd today, and Tina Maze. The Slovenian is 7 points ahead of the young American in the slalom standings. "You need to adapt to the conditions and I managed to do it today. I'm very proud of this achievement. My battery isn't fully charged anymore, but when the victory is there it gives you wings to carry on"

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Tina Maze has still broken all the records this week-end. First of all, after her second place in the Super G on Friday and her victory in Downhill on Saturday, she breaks the 2000 point record of Hermann Maier! After the second Super G where she ended 4th, Tina Maze counts exactly 2074 points. Then, she becomes the 3^rd athlete to win in all five disciplines in the same season after Petra Kronberger (1990/1991) and Janica Kostelic (2005/2006). In 2012-2013, she has win four giant slaloms (Sölden, Aspen, St. Moritz, Courchevel), two super combined (St Moritz and Meribel), one Super G in Sankt Anton, one slalom in Maribor and one downhill in Garmisch.

Here is the reaction of Tina Maze after the downhill: "Winning the overall was my goal at the start of the season. I managed to do it already last week-end in Méribel. Breaking the record is just another incredible achievement. I only won one Downhill race before today. I really needed to prove myself that I could win another one. I love the course here and the conditions were perfect today. I could not miss a chance like this."

It was also a good week-end also for Maria Höfl-Riesch who got her 71st and 72^nd career podium. She ends third in downhill and second in Super G and now she enters in the Top 10 of World Cup podiums.

"I haven't been many times on the podium this year, so taking 3rd place here in Garmisch makes me really happy. I have to congratulate Tina Maze for her outstanding achievement. It's so impressive. It's hard to say what makes her so strong. If I knew I would hopefully be as good!"

Tina Maze (Lange) wins the Super Combined in Méribel, her second victory in this discipline this season after St Moritz ahead of two Austrian's racers Nicole Hosp and Michaela Kirchgasser. In the same time, with this 8^th victory and her 18th podium this season, she is assured to win the big crystal globe at the end of the season! She has now 1844 points and she will try to exceed the record of 2000 points...

"I had a really good feeling on the slope straight away in the first training and I knew I could achieve something special here. I had a few problems in the top section of the course yesterday. The start was moved down today and that suited me better. However I was a bit sick today and really tired. Super Combined days are very long. I was so tired that I almost skied out twice in the slalom run and still don't know how I managed to find the energy to stay on the track. I will stay focused and try to get all the globes possible and most important to keep that high level of performance until the end of the World Cup season", has concluded Tina Maze.
