Andorran skier Íria Medina placed 13th in a FIS supergiant slalom at Santa Caterina, Italy, on Saturday, marking her second-best performance of the season despite adverse weather disrupting other events.
The 28-year-old finished 2.50 seconds behind the winner, recording 66.14 FIS points—close to her personal best of 62.19 in the discipline. In the men's under-19 category, also run by the Escola Esquí Baix Envalira (EEBE), Max Black and Jordi Rogel took 20th and 21st places.
Medina's race formed part of the British National Championships, where she had ended the first run in 11th with a time of 59.93 seconds but could not complete the second descent. Meanwhile, poor weather forced the cancellation of planned races at Ordino Arcalís—including a Popeyes Cup slalom—and at La Molina, where national team and EEBE U19 skiers were due to compete.
Sunday's junior national giant slalom at Santa Caterina went ahead as scheduled, with Medina entered in the women's category alongside Black and Rogel in the men's. Results from Saturday's events appeared early Sunday from Andorra la Vella.
