E '' tired, tried, but definitely happy and relieved, for a victory that drives away so many thoughts and, if not all the problems since we talk about trouble on a physical level, "fixes" quite a bit 'the difficult start to the season .
Petra Vlhova took her tenth World Cup success in Sankt Moritz, the second in parallel after beating Mikaela Shiffrin last January 1 in Oslo. And with regard to the absence of his most important rival, the Slovak champion said that "on the one hand it may be easier to win, but it is equally clear that many predicted me as the favorite and it was very difficult".
Difficult also because the giant rainbow is far from the top, with that right shank that hurts and is constantly cured; despite everything, today came the second podium after the place of honor in the Killington slalom and a full of morale, in view of Tuesday's giant in Courchevel where to try to get back in front even among the wide doors. "I will be there - Vlhova confirmed at the press conference - even if we have to see the situation day by day".
Of course, the joy of this race was special for the Slovak: "It is a very important victory, when I saw the green light it was ... fantastic. It's a difficult period, but today I gave everything to win: Anna (Swenn Larsson, in the final) was ahead, but I pushed to the limit and beyond to make it ".
If there is one that does not give up anything in the difficulties and, guided by its Italian staff with the great chief Livio Magoni, he just wants to get up there at the top, that's just Petra Vlhova.
