At Christmas with 3 blue in the top 5 of the overall, but now the slalom is back. Gut-Behrami, a wasted chance

The World Cup rankings at the end of the Val d''Isère weekend: at a quarter of the way everything is wide open, with Shiffrin now having to get closer to Vlhova, now able to take 40 important points on "enemy territory".

Nine races out of thirty-four to be played (the second super-g canceled in Sankt Moritz will be rescheduled shortly), just over a quarter of the way and the fight for the general classification of the Women's World Cup is becoming more and more interesting. The first speed triptych told us that Sofia Goggia can also throw herself into the fray, but a top performance in super-g will be needed in the Bergamo area to be part of the fight to the end; there are three blue in the top five, even if now the difficult comes as in the next three races there will be two slalom that will see Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin very favored above all (even if in Semmering the same Brignone and Bassino will be in slalom, at search for some point). The Slovakian was very good today, with a very important 6th place to regain momentum after the “zero” in Courchevel and two descents in Val d''Isère really far from the best. Petra again gained something on the first pursuer, who remains Michelle Gisin, but glued to Switzerland here are Bassino, Brignone and Goggia in order, while Lara Gut-Behrami did not take advantage of the first seasonal race of "her" specialty to shorten in decisive manner. Obviously Mikaela Shiffrin is ready for the counter-overtaking, having prepared the double of Semmering and then with a race like that of Zagreb, before deciding whether to try to dive back into the speed at Sankt Anton. By the way, if the American were to decide to do at least the super-g in Austria, on the second weekend of January, she would almost certainly be forced to start with number 1, given that the update of the WCSL has brought her to move back up to 11th position which, with the absence of Nicole Schmidhofer, becomes the tenth and last useful for the choice of odd numbers in the bib draw. Not having to compete in Austria, and it is at this moment the most probable solution, it would be up to Elena Curtoni again the thankless task of opening the race, a disadvantage not just as happened today in the Valtellina.
