The World Cup rankings after the giant on the "Erta": Vlhova at + 100 on Gisin (who eats his hands), but Gut-Behrami and the two blue are very close before Garmisch's fast races. And Marta is getting closer and closer to her first crystal ball.

An increasingly exciting fight, after a giant, today's one at Kronplatz and sixth of the season, which has further shuffled the cards.
The tussle for the crystal ball is total and still sees the three top blue players involved, even if Federica Brignone's situation is clearly the most complicated and the cup holder today was unable to take advantage of a race where she was in the right conditions right after the 1st heat. And so, with Petra Vlhova only 12th on the Erta, here is that the first five of the general are enclosed in less than 200 points: they all earn on the Slovak, even if Michelle Gisin instead of -100 could have been only 40 points behind, while it is scary considering the state of form and superiority in super-g, a Lara Gut-Behrami who now only has to recover 136 lengths.
Just behind the Ticinese, here are Marta Bassino and Sofia Goggia: the points in super-g will be crucial for the Cuneo area, the same goes for the Bergamo-based who, if she manages to bring home what is worth in that discipline, will see everything open also if it is obvious that, starting from the fast races in Garmisch (the last pre World Championships) and up to those after Cortina, or the triptych in Val di Fassa, it will be necessary to gain a lot of ground on Vlhova and Gisin before the four slaloms scheduled for March.
As for the Giant's World Cup, despite not knowing yet whether the canceled race in Semmering will be recovered (if not, there would only be two races on the calendar between Jasna and the Lenzerheide finals), Marta Bassino maintains a very good margin, + 124 on Tessa Worley and almost 150 points on Michelle Gisin.
The specialty WCSL, with Marta increasingly in command, does not see changes in the top 7, indeed Gut-Behrami has increased the margin on Hrovat, eighth, while Sofia Goggia has risen to 11th place.
