It is the night race of the female sector, the appointment of Flachau which, although on a track that is certainly not irresistible as the “Hermann Maier Weltcup Strecke” dedicated to the idol of the house, has always given a special atmosphere.
It will not be like this this year, without the usual very warm Salzburg public, but the show on the track will not be missing for the fifth slalom of the World Cup season, scheduled for Tuesday with the first heat at 18.00 (German track) and the second at 8.45 pm (will trace Christian Thoma, South Tyrolean coach of the Swedes).
The expected confrontation is again the one between Vlhova, Shiffrin, Liensberger and Gisin, who finished the last two slalom clearly in front of everyone and tomorrow, in the first heat, they will start in this order: Petra caught the bib number 5, Mikaela 5, the Austrian in search of the first victory in the CdM will have the 6 and the Swiss, second in the overall, will close the first sub-group with 7.
Wendy Holdener will open hostilities, awaiting redemption, then Austria immediately with Mair and Troops who have drawn the 3 and 4, while in the second subgroup Mielzynski and Lysdahl are in great shape, who will have bibs 11 and 12 respectively.
Will the Vlhova-Shiffrin series restart from Flachau, interrupted by Michelle Gisin in Semmering? The Slovak, who fully recovered from the blow to the knee suffered in the super-g in St. Anton, won in Zagreb, but really by a whisker on an amazing Liensberger, and won the last two editions of the Salzburg slalom, which in 2018 instead she went to the American, still looking for that success in her discipline that she has been missing for over a year.
Six blue expectations: Irene Curtoni will start with bib 13, Marta Rossetti will look for heavy points coming out of the gate for 22nd, just as Martina Peterlini (bib 26) needs a good result. After four top 30 misses, Lara Della Mea (at the start with 33) can't really go wrong, in the last specialty race before the World Championships in Cortina, finally here is the return to the cup of Serena Viviani (n ° 54), on podium yesterday in the European Cup in Vaujany, a first time for the Genoese class' '99, and third consecutive race in the maximum circuit for Anita Gulli (bib 59), in turn an excellent fifth in the second race in France.
Sixty-seven athletes in the race and a suggestion (using Eurosport Player, who will show the whole heat) to follow all the way, also because with the bib number 65 Zrinka Ljutic will start who, if he finds a track at least in fair conditions, will be able to crown the dream of the first qualification to the 2nd heat, after having touched it in the home race in Zagreb.
