Ledecká makes podium in Super-G World Cup after long absence

Czechia’s Ester Ledecká placed third in the super giant slalom World Cup in Kvitfjell, Norway on Sunday for her first appearance on the podium since returning from a collarbone injury sustained in 2022.

The 2018 Super-G Olympic champion, who finished fourth at the same venue on Saturday, was last in the top three in a World Cup event nearly two years ago. Ledecká, who is 28,  is 11th overall in this year’s edition.
