Ukrainian athlete Anna Mari Danch achieved her best season result at the World Cup snowboarding stage held in Krynica, Poland.

The Ukrainian finished in sixth place in the parallel giant slalom. Danch reached the quarter-finals where she faced Dutch competitor Michelle Dekker.

After the first run, the Ukrainian snowboarder was trailing her opponent by 0.09 seconds, and she completed the second run with a time of +0.34 seconds, which led to her exit from the competition.

At this tournament, Danch secured sixth place, achieving her best result of the 2024/25 season and matching her second-best career result.

"I am pleased with my performance. I really like this course: it's not too steep and not too flat, I can gain speed here. The snow is spring-like, which is also my favorite. By the way, last year at this World Cup stage, I was fifth, which was my best performance of the season. But I want to make it to the top four. Tomorrow there will be another World Cup stage here, so we will fight," said Danch.

Regarding other representatives from Ukraine at this tournament, Nadia Hapatin finished in 27th place and did not qualify, Vita Bodnaruk came in 39th, and Oleksandra Malyovanna finished last in 48th place. Mykhailo Kharuk placed 34th in the men's qualification.

Danch's main achievement is the silver medal she won at the 2019 World Championship in parallel slalom. She has also been the runner-up at the Winter Universiade in parallel giant slalom twice – in 2011 and 2017.
