In the space of a few hours, a real tour de force considering that the first race ended this afternoon around 5.10 pm (with all the post to consider ...), and on Saturday it will be time for the second consecutive slalom on the snows of Are.
The eighth and penultimate specialty stage for the Women's World Cup, the last test before flying to the finals in Lenzerheide. And after what happened today, Petra Vlhova seems to have a sort of match point in her hands to address definitively, or almost, the challenge for the absolute crystal ball: success number 6 this season means +64 on Lara Gut -Behrami and even "only" a podium tomorrow could open a gap that is difficult to fill for the Ticino.
Furthermore, the Slovakian led by Livio Magoni could also celebrate her second consecutive slalom cup in advance: with 85 and 90 points margin respectively on Shiffrin and Liensberger, a victory-bis would be worth the arithmetic. Petra will start with bib n ° 4 in the first heat scheduled at 10.30 and on the layout of Magoni's assistant coach, Matej Gemza (the second is scheduled for 13.45, Norwegian layout).
After what we saw today with a track in really precarious conditions, the bibs could be fundamental and in this sense, after the '1 caught by Chiara Mair, here is that the 2 of Mikaela Shiffrin is a factor of weight, with the American who will want clearly redeem the disappointing third place (for her) of race 1. Lena Duerr will start with 3 between the two great rivals, and it is a super opportunity for the German back in the seven thanks to the 5th place in today's slalom and the counter performance of Lysdahl. With 5 and 6 Holdener and Gisin, then Katharina Liensberger to close the first sub-group and probably called to defend herself in the first heat, and then attack in the second as she did today to seek the blessed first victory in the World Cup ( and also the first season for women's Austria ...).
There will be no Melanie Meillard, who gave up after what happened today in the 1st heat, while Irene Curtoni this time will start with the n ° 13 and Martina Peterlini with the 26 to look for the necessary points to qualify for the slalom of the Lenzerheide finals. A few may be enough, but after today's release it will not be easy for thirty.
