00:00Speed going as we're back here to the top Scott and peak performance rider Lena Kohler

00:06Absolutely electric athlete the first little bit of her run in Bakira Barrette was so fiery as she is straight into the face here

00:16Proving that she can handle these top full commitment lines coming in with a ton of speed and

00:22Skiing those power turns strong and powerfully. She's living in Innsbruck

00:26It finished her studies and now she can full-time ski

00:30Yes, you know studying mechanical engineering or sorry civil engineering

00:34No big deal for these overachieving athletes Lena Kohler now just enjoying look how deep the powder is there

00:40She makes her way onto this spiny takeoff and going way further riders left

00:46That landing going huge there Lena Kohler the German rider

00:50She's been skiing a ton of park lately in her time off between Bakira and this event

00:55Pumping off that one as well finding a nice trajectory there

00:58Lena Kohler making the most of the upper section here the Lac Noir totally really smart that she's taking the same takeoffs

01:05But making sure she's finding her own fresh landing and going pretty big

01:09Yeah

01:09a new feature there Lena Kohler dropping in getting completely engulfed in the powder and

01:14Pinned turn that into a triple and flying out so Lena Kohler

01:19We didn't get the full view of her skill set in Bakira barrette because she had that early crash

01:25Basically from being too aggressive, which is you know, if you're gonna have a problem as a rookie

01:29That's a good problem to have and showing the full set of skills that she's got Lena Kohler

01:34Lacing that run on the Lac Noir face. What a treat to watch her ride

01:38That was looking back at her track

01:40She's just pretty much straight line the bottom third of the venue while still making three separate

01:50Yeah, you can hear the finish line Mike picking up the excited chatter from Justine de four lap

01:56Oh a great run there from the peak performance athlete rookie riding

02:01As you said out of Innsbruck, but a German rider Lena Kohler

02:06Incredible action here from ski women as we look back at the top of this run

02:09You can see her strong technique strong commitment at the top that landing caused not a single issue

02:15And then she sets up for the next one. I love the angle of the takeoff going

02:19Significantly bigger than we saw both Elizabeth and Justine go on that one and a different direction on this one as well

02:25Finding her own area to land in the bomb holes can prove to be tricky

02:32And if you land in a hole of compressed snow, it's gonna buck you so Lena Kohler proving to be with with some veteran

02:41trajectory savvy there

02:43For the young German rider. Oh, wow. This this competition has just been magic ski women as

02:50always just providing an

02:52Incredible insight into the level that we are at in competitive freeride right now. It's really cool to see how much it's progressed

03:00I think women riders have always been capable of skiing at the limits

03:05But as they've gotten all better together and all pushed each other together that level just rises and rises and rises

03:12Well, and when you stand at the top and you watch everybody else go so hard

03:17You're not gonna do anything else, right? You're gonna do the same

03:20You're gonna go as hard as you can give it everything. You've got to put yourself in the mix

03:2484.33 Lena Kohler taking over second spot from Elizabeth Gerritsen, so we got peak performance
