Košir placed second in the men’s parallel slalom in what was a truly nail-biting finale. He was just 11 milliseconds slower than his Russian counterpart Vic Wild. He made a mistake halfway down the slope but almost caught up to his competitor by the end of the run.

With this win, the 29 year old added a silver medal to his bronze one, which he won in parallel giant slalom.
