Ferlazzo commented after the race
"I was happy with the first run!
"On the second I broke out into a skid down the bottom that pushed me back to 17th. Overall it’s movement in the right direction after that shocker of a first half.
"Altenberg up next! Looking forward to some smooth fast ice."
The next event for Ferlazzo is the World Cup in Altenberg, Austria, on January 11.
