On Saturday there will not even be the American, recovering from the accused back problems and with the focus on Levi as Vlhova. Bassino, Gut-Behrami and Liensberger the big sure, Switzerland formalizes the selection without Holdener and Gisin.

Now it's official, as his personal coach, Mike Day, told the media.
Mikaela Shiffrin renounces the parallel of Lech / Zuers, which already jumped in 2020 (in that case it was disputed after Levi), but the back problems accused again in the last training on the home snows of Colorado are only part of the choice of the leader of the World Cup. With a few days of work lost in the post Soelden, the American champion is now thinking of concentrating on Levi's two slaloms, exactly like Petra Vlhova who, despite having won the race in Arlberg 12 months ago, also gave up on the second CdM appointment scheduled for next Saturday.
The absences for the Austrian competition, in the women's field, are really many since we will not even see Tessa Worley, world bronze in the discipline in Cortina 2021 and ready to leave for the States as Alice Robinson (already arrived in Copper Mountain to work in a giant optics di Killington), as well as Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia, training on the American snow since last Sunday, and the Swiss couple formed by Wendy Holdener and Michelle Gisin, who are working on slalom in Davos with a view to Levi.
There will be the two reigning world champions (they won ex aequo in Cortina), Marta Bassino and Katharina Liensberger, with Lara Gut-Behrami who could win important points for the general, also thinking that for the Ticinese there remains the doubt regarding the timing of the vaccination for North American competitions. Swiss-Ski made official the selection for Lech / Zuers a few minutes ago, with the Comano champion competing together with Camille Rast, Andrea Ellenberger, Jasmina Suter, Simone Wild, Delia Durrer, Vanessa Kasper and Amelie Klopfenstein.
