The slalom to greet Semmering, after the two consecutive giants in the Lower Austrian town, and all the spotlights, even more so since we are talking about a race that will take place at night, on Mikaela Shiffrin in search of the seventh pearl of her career on the " Panorama”, but above all of the 80th success in CdM. Fifth round of the season between the narrow posts, where Shiffrin and Holdener lead the specialty ranking with the same points (and placements, therefore both will have the red bib), fresh from two successes in a row between Killington, albeit shared with Swenn Larsson, and Sestriere. Thursday the start at 15.00 (Croatian tracking for the 1st heat), at 18.30 the 2nd heat under the lights of the spotlights, with Canadian drawing (live TV of both appointments on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport). Ana Bucik will open the challenge, then with number 2 here is Petra Vlhova not in top condition due to a fever, but called to outdo herself to seek that first success of the season which is still missing from the last queen of the slalom cup. With the 3 a fearsome Swenn Larsson for all, then with the 4 Liensberger and all her unknowns, just before those who present themselves as the two favorites, precisely Holdener (n° 5) and Shiffrin (6), who will try to complete the triptych of winning races in Semmering as in 2016. Whoever won the last slalom held here in 2020, Michelle Gisin, will be forced to "make do" with the number 13, when the Panorama will probably already concede less to the athletes. Attention also for the attack on the podium to this Paula Moltzan in great form, with the second American striker who caught an excellent No. 8 and will precede Troops and Hector, today very disappointed by the second giant. Out at 3 pm, immediately Aronsson Elfman (bib 16) and Ljutic (19) among the most interesting, albeit in difficulty in the two days between the wide doors. It's Italy? Martina Peterlini is finally back, one year after the knee crash suffered in the European Cup on the snow of Valle Aurina: the 25-year-old from Trentino will come out of the starting gate with number 35 and will immediately have to surpass herself for the qualification objective, the same as Rossetti (well done in Killington , out in Sestriere when he was driving fast again) who will have the number 39, with Della Mea starting 43rd, Lorenzi with the 48 (he is looking for the second pass in the second race of his career in the cup) and Gulli with the 50, just before by Lara Colturi who will try to give "her" Albania another points placement after today's great giant.
