Now 2019 <strong>Downhill Sorica<\/strong> is just days away.

It is a bit changed in the bottom part from 2017 due to some ski slope improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Just a week before the World Championships in Canada, three National Team members will miss this appointment: Monika Hrastnik, Jure \u017dabjek and junior \u017dak Gomil\u0161\u010dek.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jure \u017dabjek<\/strong> (Unior\/Devinci Factory Racing) won all the semi-final (seeding) and final runs at all three stops so far and is sitting high above everyone else on top of the men\u2019s elite ranking. <strong>Rudi Pintar<\/strong> (Sinter Brakes Team) is second and <strong>Luka Berginc<\/strong> (KK \u010crn trn) third.
