Bank finishes 11th in men’s slalom at Whistler

Czech alpine skier Ondřej Bank was unable to hold on to a promising sixth place in the men’s slalom at Vancouver on Saturday, slipping to a final 11th spot after his second run. All the same, the skier indicated he is satisfied with his performance at this year’s Winter Olympics, which included an earlier 7th place finish in the Super-Combined Downhill. He did say, however, that he hoped to do better in the future. Saturday’s men’s slalom was won by Italian skier Giuliano Razzoli, followed by Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, and Sweden’s Andre Myhrer.
