The Lienz slalom closed the solar year of the pink circus: the general is very open, it is essential to understand when the leader will return. In slalom it is already an escape for Vlhova, Brignone renounces Zagreb and the ... bib 16.

A women's World Cup close to the halfway point, with 16 races of which 8 are technical and 7 are fast, in addition to the parallel of Lech / Zuers.
It is Mikaela Shiffrin who commands even after the two days of Lienz, despite having been forced to jump giant and slalom on the "Schlossberg", tests in which Petra Vlhova has instead forfeited 180 fundamental points to bring herself back to -135 from her great rival, while Sofia Goggia must recover 93 from the leader of the general. Three-way fight for the absolute crystal ball? Everything leads us to think this, with Sara Hector fourth at -326 (but with a discipline and ... half available), just ahead of Federica Brignone.
The date of Shiffrin's return, whether already in Zagreb for the first appointment of 2022 or for the following weekend of technical competitions in Slovenia (probably in Kranjska Gora instead of Maribor), will also affect the fight for the slalom cup which, however, it is taking the path of Slovakia given that the exceptional performance of Vlhova (3 wins and a second place in 4 races), net of today's absence of Mikaela, is worth +120 for Petra compared to the four times world champion in specialties, with Liensberger third ahead of Holdener.
In the WCSL of discipline, if the top 7 does not change compared to the eve of Lienz, there is the return of Federica Brignone (today starting with the 31st), thanks to the 16th place today, given that the Aosta Valley is 32nd but between retirements and injuries he is inside. The choice, however, not to compete in Zagreb, where Fede would have started with the 16, will bring her back to the border and probably beyond for the next appointment, in this continuous alternation that sees the one who, with Peterlini's absence, is in fact the best Italian specialist while not taking part in all the slaloms on the calendar.
