Giant of Are: Vlhova is scary, then makes a mistake and keeps the door open, Bassino is 2 ^ at 3 cents!

A first heat difficult to manage and interpret, especially for a spring snow, the one found today in Are for the penultimate giant of the World Cup, only to be caressed and "treated" with gloves. And so did Petra Vlhova and Marta Bassino, those who made the difference in the middle of the race: the Slovakian was simply scary, coming to earn almost 8 tenths of all, the Cuneo first, at the last intermediate, only to make a mistake but in the end of that track (even if it wasn't exactly the same) where he won the world title in 2019, and keep the door open for the rivals, starting with the blue who is second at just 3 cents. The other striker of the national team, Federica Brignone who started with number 1, has a thousand regrets for what happened on the short final wall, with the delay of the line with three doors from the end costing a fork with the arm that excludes her from the games, and at this point definitively from the fight for the overall World Cup. The challenge for the specialty, however, sees Sara Hector increasingly in advantage, third after this 1st heat at 29 cents from Vlhova, given that Tessa Worley is fifth at 6 tenths, preceded by a couple of cents by Michelle Gisin. Mikaela Shiffrin is only sixth, with 79 cents to recover, while she goes beyond the second behind, also because after the first sub-group it became really difficult to make the time, to find the Norwegians with Mowinckel 8 ^ at 1 "04 and Stjernesund (with n ° 20, very good) 9 ^ to 1 "36. Second heat starts at 18.00, which will also try to qualify the other four blue at the gate after number 40. (updating)
