In Semmering there were 11, in Zagreb 5. The cents that divided Katharina Liensberger from her first triumph in CdM, now getting closer for the 23-year-old from Vorarlberg not only in terms of timing, but also and above all for what she is showing on a technical level the Austrian talent now blossomed.
Who knows that she will not be able to unlock in the next slalom (also breaking the fast of the Wunderteam in the discipline, which has lasted for over 6 years), in that Flachau which, on January 8, 2019, gave her the first of her seven podiums in the maximum circuit, finishing third behind Vlhova and Shiffrin. The great rivals that Liensberger now sees very closely, even if we want in front of them if we think that, on the eight heats so far disputed on the four slaloms, Katharina has the best overall time, anticipating Petra Vlhova by 13 cents. "I fought and tried to stay on the trajectory, increase the speed and take it with me, but I couldn't do it at my best - explained the Austrian in the post race in Zagreb to oesv.at - On the final wall I saved myself, it's It was a fight to the limit and I am also very happy with second place ”.
After the success of Semmering, which was the first of her career (and now we are at 11 podiums in CdM), Michelle Gisin repeated herself at very high levels, finishing third at 22 cents from Vlhova, but in this case there are some regrets '' it's as Switzerland explained. "I'm happy with the podium, but they are also the worst 22 cents of my life because it would have been really nice to win here - reports Rete Uno Sport - It was all very difficult already in the first heat, but in the second on that track (designed by the Austrian coach) it looked like a rodeo.
I went well on the plan, but I made a mistake at the bottom; the nice thing is being constantly so close, when I used to take over 3 seconds. St. Anton? I never thought I'd have such a season in slalom, so I go relaxed even at speed on a track that is new to me. We are expecting a difficult slope, but I hope to have two good races ”.
