Shiffrin is also ahead in the "quagmire" of Zagreb: Mikaela is perfect in the 1st heat, then Swenn Larsson and Vlhova

Sixth slalom of the season opened by the dominatrix of the World Cup, who sails with 23 cents on the Swede while Vlhova misses heavily at the bottom and is over half a second. Ok Liensberger, Holdener back and Duerr, Moltzan and Ljutic out of the game. After thirty there will be five blue.

Even in the "quagmire" of Zagreb, with Crveni Spust which somehow withstood the very high temperatures, she is still in charge. Mikaela Shiffrin is in exceptional shape and she also demonstrates it in the 1st heat of race-1 as regards the double slalom appointment in the Croatian capital: the American starts with bib number 7, when there are already signs on the track, but manages everything perfectly, she doesn't risk on the final wall and ends with 23 cents of advantage over Anna Swenn Larsson, who will try to go to the attack of the second success in her career in the decisive downhill at the start from 16.30. Those who make serious mistakes in the end and may have regrets, she who starting with the No. 2 on the track where she has won on the last three occasions, is Petra Vlhova who is third, but 55 cents from Shiffrin leaving several tenths on the long one that "cuts" in two the final wall. Signs of awakening from Katharina Liensberger, fourth at 86 cents, then the gaps increase a lot (despite the 10-12 seconds less in the race given the shortening of the track), with Nullmeyer excellent 5th at 1"21, Holdener disappointed instead from his sixth fastest time (+ 1"28), just ahead of a very good Hanna Aronsson Elfman, 7th at 1"30 starting with number 16 and also ahead of Bucik, who does not exploit the number 1 at all and pays 1"56 . Waiting for the blues, at the start after thirty (Peterlini the first with the n° 33), important to report the exits of Duerr and Moltzan, when he was traveling to try to confirm, who knows, the podium of Semmering, and almost immediately at the start the darling of the house Zrinka Ljutic (and also Sara Hector, who still rides).
