Petra's miracle can be worth the cup, the weather as well: the final challenge between Vlhova and Gut-Behrami begins

The World Cup rankings after the second slalom in Are: the Slovak with 96 points ahead of the finals in Lenzerheide, with a high risk downhill and super-g. In slalom the three great rivals enclosed in less than 40 points; Curtoni out of 15, after a long time, in the specialty WCSL.

A real miracle that could prove decisive, given that the 32 points conquered today by Petra Vlhova in the slalom bis of Are, after winning on Friday, may seem few but in reality they represent a fundamental plus for the Slovakian, considering how they had done. the things after that mistake at the fifth gate of the 1st heat. Petra extended to +96 on Gut-Behrami in the super-challenge for the absolute World Cup, when only the four races of the Lenzerheide finals are missing. And in the comparison between the Slovakian and the Swiss, the weather could also play a key role, given that the forecasts continue to be decidedly negative for the entire next week, starting from the downhill tests up to the fast races scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. (with the impossibility of moving or recovering them). While Mikaela Shiffrin overtook Bassino and Brignone as expected, for a 4th place that now sees the American clearly favored over the blue (but the podium in the overall is not impossible for Mikaela, with a sharp decline in Gisin), it is also decidedly interesting the fight for the slalom cup. Today's mistake meant that Liensberger and Shiffrin almost entirely eroded Vlhova's advantage, now with 22 points over the Austrian and 37 over the American. However, a 2nd place in the final race next Saturday would be enough to celebrate the bis title. At the level of specialty WCSL, it should be noted that Chiara Mair keeps Kristin Lysdahl out of the first subgroup by one point, while Irene Curtoni is out of the second, with the last two "zero" that roll the Valtellinese up to 20th place, while Peterlini (29 ^) did not qualify for the finals.
