Result
Janica Kostelic of Croatia won the women's World Cup slalom at Garmisch-Partenkirchen on 18 February 2001. Her combined time of 1:19.96 put her 0.98 seconds ahead of France's Christel Pascal-Saioni. Austria's Karin Koellerer completed the podium, 1.11 seconds behind the winner.
Competition detail
The contest for third was considerably tighter than the winning margin. Sabine Egger finished fourth at 1.12 behind, only one hundredth slower than Koellerer. Norway's Hedda Berntsen was fifth at 1.47 and Switzerland's Sonja Nef sixth at 1.66. Those final totals describe the completed slalom, not a single-run ranking.
The contemporary swissinfo report placed the victory in the context of Kostelic's sequence of wins that season and identified the same podium. FIS's athlete record separately lists the Garmisch victory on 18 February, providing an additional date and discipline check. The result was a women's technical-race decision, separate from Carole Montillet's super-G win at the venue two days earlier.
