00:00 This is one to watch. She is the boss, the freeride world tour veteran sitting in sixth so far.
00:07 That is incorrect. Hedvig is actually sitting in fourth overall.
00:11 And a peak performance rider looking to make a big splash.
00:14 She's always kind of chatting about the balance for her between consistency and just show-stopping magic.
00:20 And Hedvig getting way out there over the exposure to start her run.
00:24 Into that super technical entrance and off the nose into that doubler we saw Victor going.
00:28 Stomping it just avoiding the rocks. Oh my gosh.
00:32 Sending it from Hedvig, holding on as she's shutting down her speed.
00:36 Coming into the tree section. Firecrackers start to the run.
00:40 Classic Hedvig Vessel style.
00:42 Keeping it low and fast through that.
00:44 I love to see it, that smart veteran riding that I know Hedvig does.
00:48 And Hedvig is so strong. This crust having no effect on her.
00:52 Directly off the nose. Huge stomp there for Vessel as she has made short work of this kicking horse venue.
01:00 That is a statement from Hedvig Vessel as she flies through the finish.
01:05 A massive run from the Norwegian rider bringing the fans to their feet.
01:11 Was insane. That top air. We are going to look at that replay.
01:15 But I think she came so close to that rock.
01:18 And that is huge getting those trajectories right. Just sending it.
01:22 Well Tom, let's take a look back. The start of this run.
01:27 Absolutely firing off that.
01:29 Boom. Stomping it. And coming out with speed and holding on.
01:35 Great technique. Great strength.
01:37 Yeah, she definitely had a moment there in the powder cloud.
01:40 You can see one ski kind of kick out.
01:42 And then this lower one again. Wrapping the turn straight off the nose.
01:45 Waiting patiently in the fault line for balance before she starts the next turn.
01:49 Every single bit of that run just screams veteran performance.
01:54 That was such a solid run there for Vessel.
01:56 Absolutely.
01:57 That was a firm landing. I was hoping for more.
02:02 Yeah, that is a firm crust. You hear it from her. The veteran herself.
02:07 Oh my god.
02:11 Well you can see Lily Bradley looking over at Hedvig.
02:15 Somewhat in awe. It's one of the coolest parts here of the Freeride World Tour.
02:18 These riders getting to ride with their heroes.
02:20 80.67 for the peak performance athlete.
02:24 As she puts herself on the top of the pile so far.
02:28 Hedvig Vessel with a strong statement.
02:31 After Verbier we had a good chat.
02:33 And she was like, I don't know if I really did enough.
02:35 You know, and especially with both Manon and Zuza going absolutely buck wild on that Verbier face.
02:40 So she's come back.
