At Kronplatz the third victory in the last four specialty races for the Swedish, who will be the favorite in Beijing. Vlhova smiles for the 2nd place and the points earned in the general over Shiffrin, Worley for the 35th podium and also the Frenchwoman, in great shape, is scary for the Games.

An Erta "bent" by that force of nature that responds to the name of Sara Hector.
What the Swedish '92 class is doing is fabulous, too often in the past conditioned by physical problems, but definitely exploded in this Olympic season. It is no coincidence that, until last December 22nd, she had won only once in the World Cup (in a very special race in Kuehtai, December 2014), while now she is the true queen of the giant, with a power ... controlled that makes an impression.
Three successes in the last four challenges between the wide doors, 5 podiums in series in the space of 35 days, a red bib with 95 points of margin on the first pursuer, a Tessa Worley equally in splendid shape, if we think that the transalpine (today at the 35th podium in CdM, all in giant) won in Lienz, finished second in Kranjska Gora and third today on the track where he won 12 months ago. Petra Vlhova also smiles, who has meticulously prepared this race by training in Val di Fassa and it has been seen, beyond the advantage accumulated with the bib number 1 in the opening heat. The Slovak has not yet unlocked herself in terms of seasonal victories in this discipline, but now she finds herself just 17 points behind Mikaela Shiffrin, fifth, in a general classification that sees her in full swing for an encore. We will talk about it again after the Olympics.
"It is wonderful and incredible to cross the finish line again and see the green light - Sara told, with her usual energy and spontaneity, to Giulia Candiago's FIS microphone - I pushed hard, I made a mistake (at the attack of the final wall, ed) and I told myself that I shouldn't have done it, but today it was a battle and we had to fight. I unbeatable? Not at all, the opponents are very strong and every race is tight, I just try to do my best, like today in the second heat which was very complicated ".
