A killer on the cup. Ruthless, lucid, perfect: there is an amazing Petra Vlhova drawing curves on the Levi Black, for a masterful double in the first two slalom of the season which means the first mini escape at the top of the general classification of the World Cup, even if the great 2nd place for Michelle Gisin means having the Swiss team behind by “only” 85 points.
The second gem in the space of 24 hours, fifth consecutive hurray in CdM slalom (the last three of last season and Levi's two), means box n ° 16 in the general calculation of successes in the maximum circuit, as well as the tenth only in slalom. She who, together with her mostly Italian staff (with Livio Magoni now called to another transfer by minibus driving for thousands of km towards the Alps ...), prepared the two Finnish races in a meticulous way, from the first November day at work on the snow of Suomutunturi.
Allowing itself zero from every point of view, to avoid any risk of contagion from Covid, and with a very clear mission: the World Cup which will now pass through another stage, next Thursday with the parallel of Lech. “Today was difficult, but I wanted to confirm myself after Saturday's victory and in the second I was able to express myself to the maximum. I am happy with this - he explained to the FIS microphones - and obviously two victories like this are something fantastic ”.
Triplet to Levi (after the success of 2017) and ... third reindeer after Igor and Pepi. "The name? I didn't think about it, of course, but I just knew that after the first heat I would have to push hard in the second. We were all very close, the work done with the team in recent weeks has come out. Without them, believe me, I would not be here ”.
And the mission has just begun.
