Julia Dujmovits of Austria was third in 1:07.55.

Germany's Ramona Theresia Hofmeister, who is leading the parallel giant slalom World Cup standings and earned an Olympic bronze medal in the discipline at Pyeongchang 2018, was fifth. 

Loginov, Sobolev, Sluev and Nadyrshina were all competing under the Russian Ski Federation banner due to World Anti-Doping Agency sanctions levied against the country. 

Competition is due to continue tomorrow with the men and women's parallel slalom.

Loginov is again the defending champion in the men's contest.
