The unknown weather will be there, given that fog is expected like today, but there is no lack of confidence to be able to bring home a race like the slalom and for this reason the inversion of the tests with the giant took place, moved to Sunday. The World Cup returns to Jasna, five years after that 6-7 March 2016 (curiously, the same dates this year) that saw Mikaela Shiffrin open the two days in Slovakia dominating, with more than two seconds of margin on Wendy Holdener , the slalom on the “Lukova 2”. Saturday, starting at 9.30 with the 1st heat (designed by Luca Agazzi, the Italian coach who follows the Canadians, the second is scheduled for 12.30 with the tracing of the technical manager of the blue, Matteo Guadagnini), the sixth round of the season between the posts narrow will see the hostess Petra Vlhova the first to exit the gate. Bib n ° 1 for the specialty leader in the sixth of nine seasonal events, simply crucial for the Slovak who must recover 187 points from Lara Gut-Behrami in the general classification and defends 40 points on Katharina Liensberger and 65 on Mikaela Shiffrin as regards slalom. The new world champion, who is still looking for her first victory in the Cup (she also finished second in the last slalom of the maximum circuit, two months ago in Flachau behind Shiffrin) has caught the number 5, the American will follow with the 6 and Michelle Gisin, the fourth most anticipated woman in the discipline, will start with 7. Instead, it will be Wendy Holdener who will shoot with the No. 2 after Vlhova and before Mair and Truppe, with the latter returning after the adductor injury that cost her participation in Cortina 2021. There will be only three blue in the race: Marta Bassino gave up thinking only of the decisive giant on Sunday, while Irene Curtoni will be the first to start with number 11 to try to forget a bitter world race, just a couple of weeks ago. Federica Brignone, still in the WCSL 30, will start with 16 while Martina Peterlini will have to "make do" with 30 to take home a qualification and useful points to recover in the top 25 for the World Cup finals. Between Jasna and Are, this will be the goal of the young woman from thirty.
