victory in Yongpyong on 1 March rounded off a successful season. A mediocre 1998–99 season followed, but in 1999–2000 fully reinvigorated his career, achieving two fourth places, one third places, three-second places and one victory in the World Cup. The victory was his last race of the season, Bormio in March. He reached old heights with a second place in the Slalom Cup. However, the results were not followed up in the 2000–01 season. A fifth place in Åre in February was his best World Cup result; also he finished eleventh at the 2001 World Championships.
