She finished 0.8sec behind winner Federice Brignone and just 0.18sec off the silver medal position in an exceptionally tight competition. Only racers who completed their first run got to take a second run, so there was no margin for error. At the end of the first run, Robinson was sitting in 10th place with a time of 1min 4.32sec, 1.09sec behind Brignone. "Last Olympics were really challenging for Alice and I’m so happy that she’s back to skiing well again.
