To Mikaela Shiffrin the race of the year and the leadership of the general defense classification, to Petra Vlhova the second crystal ball in slalom of her career, after the one she won in 2020. This is the verdict of the "night race" in Schladming, the last appointment between the narrow poles before the Olympic Games in Beijing, with the challenge for the slalom World Cup which ends with two races to spare in favor of the extraordinary Slovak with his 5 victories and 2 second places obtained in 7 races, even if the absence (due to Covid) of Shiffrin in Lienz had already directed the comparison. However, what makes this season increasingly interesting is the situation relating to the general cup: the American leads with 55 points over Vlhova and 309 points over Sofia Goggia, who will now have three weekends of speed one behind the other. , and also a fourth in Crans-Montana with the two descents immediately after the conclusion of the Olympics, to be exploited to look for the counter-pass, also because both Mikaela and Petra will manage with the dropper, beyond the giant on the "Erta" of Kronplatz of 25 January. Seventeen races at the end, of which 6 downhill, 5 super-g, 4 giants and 2 slalom, and from the next weekend in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee (Saturday downhill, Sunday super-g) the math will start again. WCSL slalom chapter, definitive at this point for the Olympic race on February 9th: the top 7 does not change, with Swenn-Larsson who, despite today's zero, saves seventh place by a whisker compared to the Slovenian Ana Bucik, while Chiara Mair and Leona Popovic entered by force in the second sub-group with the great race tonight, excluding Ali Nullmeyer who, one step away from the first podium in the cup, lost everything with the fork in the 2nd heat (the Canadian had started for the first time with the 8). Virtually nothing changes for the Italians, without athletes in the 30s and with some points conquered only by Anita Gulli, however far from being able to improve her starting bib.
