The Slovakian's 4th place in the first descent of Crans-Montana could be worth a lot in terms of the World Cup. Now Petra is just over 100 points from Shiffrin and sees Brignone.

A very heavy result, again the best of the downhill career (and he only played five with today's one), after the 6th place in the first of Bansko, the one brought home today by Petra Vlhova in Crans-Montana.
The final fourth place, just 16 cents from the podium occupied by Stephanie Venier (losing a couple of tenths too much in the initial stretch of Mont Lachaux), in fact means that the Slovakian is now only 104 points behind Mikaela Shiffrin and "sees" Federica Brignone, 27 lengths away.
Team Vlhova looks to the top of the overall, there is no doubt about it, and Livio Magoni applauds his pupil's performance today: "Petra did a feat, even if we believed it because we knew there would be possibilities on this track - he explains the technician from Bergamo - But it remains a great result â€.
And in the possible duel with Federica Brignone, considering that Shiffrin is still in the pits and could even return to Ofterschwang (but there are no certainties in this sense, we reiterate it once again), there is also the news that in recent weeks, to be precise request of the Italian team from Vlhova, the possibility of training in La Thuile, on the "3 Franco Berthod" which will host the World Cup next weekend and has seen the blue ones work on the race track (although not on the track) has been denied complete) between Tuesday and Wednesday.
