It was a fantastic effort from Greta, with few errors through the steepest sections of the course, equalling her best Olympic Super-G performance from PyeongChang 2018.
"It was a super fun hill to ski," Greta said.
"The venue is awesome, the snow is incredible. I didn't quite execute where I planned to, I didn't quite push on the technical turns or really execute those to carry the speed down the bottom.
"So [I'm] a bit disappointed with that, but definitely some lessons to learn in there for the hill and to push in the downhill [track event] coming up.
Greta will now prepare for the women's downhill which takes place on Tuesday 15 February.
