At the beginning of the last World Cup vintage, she said she was ready to inherit the role of Frida Hansdotter, Olympic champion in charge and queen of the Swedish slalom.
The world silver of Are had already been a very important piece of the career, but in several of the 2019/20 season, Anna Swenn-Larsson has shown that she has made another qualitative leap, which could lead her to beat Shiffrin-Vlhova at least on some occasions and get that blessed first victory in CdM that still misses you.
The 28-year-old Swede, who was able to train in Are even in the weeks following the early closure of the season, told herself during a direct broadcast with the Swedish media SVT, telling of "secretly dreaming of the first success, without making it become a '' obsession. I would like to get on the podium of the slalom World Cup and, in addition to focusing on the parallel, I would also like to take the giant back. Idols? Anja Paerson grew up in my own ski club and clearly was a great reference. The best currently? Mikaela Shiffrin is also the strongest on the mental plane. "
Swenn-Larsson ended the season with three podiums gathered in just eight races (6 slaloms, 1 parallel giant and 1 parallel slalom), from third place in slalom in Killington to second in Flachau, with the other square d '' honor in the PSL of Sankt Moritz in the middle, mocking in that beaten comeback by Vlhova for only two cents in the final. The biggest regret of a season that saw the Scandinavian finish 4th in the parallel classification and 5th in the slalom one, however, obviously dates back to the last race held in Kranjska Gora. Dominant up to 3 doors from the conclusion, Anna flew away when she had also folded the resistance of Petra Vlhova.
From that memory to be deleted will start again in the next season.
