Full quota for two national teams who are aiming very high in the races that will open the women's slalom season, Saturday and Sunday in Levi.
Austria and Sweden offer 9 athletes each for a long-awaited weekend also and above all for Katharina Liensberger who, as world champion and specialty cup winner, is even ahead of her predictions this season compared to Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova . Fourth in Soelden for an excellent start in the giant, out instead in the round of 16 of the home parallel in Lech / Zuers, the 24-year-old from Vorarlberg returns to the Finnish snow that last year saw her conquer two third places, just the start of a fantastic ride.
With Liensberger, we will see at the gate of the "Levi Black" many athletes aiming for at least the top ten, such as Chiara Mair, Katharina Truppe, Franziska Gritsch, Katharina Gallhuber and Katharina Huber, while Marie-Therese Sporer, Stephanie Brunner will try to qualify for the second heat and the class of 2001 Magdalena Egger, a talent expected to make its final explosion.
Sweden will rest on the shoulders of Anna Swenn-Larsson, who we haven't seen in the World Cup for 21 months, with all the well-known ordeal linked to last season, which for the yellow and blue team began with the shock of the impossibility of participating in the two initial races for a positivity at Covid that hit the head coach Christian Thoma.
Saturday and Sunday Magdalena Fjaellstroem will also return after a long time, in a team that will also count on good certainties such as Sara Hector, Elsa Fermbaeck and Charlotta Saefvenberg, but also many young people such as Liv Ceder, Sara Rask, Moa Bostroem Mussener and the 2002 class Hanna Aronsson Elfman, very good at the season debut in Soelden with her first points taken home in a CdM race.
