Slovenian skier Andreja Slokar missed out an Olympic medal in the women’s slalom in Beijing by a tenth of a second to finish fifth.
Another Slovenian, Ana Bucik, was 11th. Slokar, 24, was in the battle for medals after an excellent first run, which put her in fourth place. In the finals, however, she lost key advantage in the lower part of the slope to cross the finish line as fourth.
