Mikaela Shiffrin has always savored her commitments in speed, especially in January, and so she decided to do this also this season, despite being in full tussle with at least two rivals, Petra Vlhova and Sofia Goggia, for the attempt to lead to home the fourth career World Cup.
The decision to skip the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee appointment had already been taken some time ago and, after returning to victory in the Schladming slalom, the American moved to Reiteralm to put together an important training block, days that the same Mikaela defined "necessary". Barring surprises, we should see Shiffrin competing on Sunday in the super-g of Cortina, where he already triumphed in 2019, and then next Tuesday here is the last pre-Olympic giant, on the "Erta" of Kronplatz that the multiple Olympic and world champion has always tamed 3 years ago (that race was held five days before the super-g on the Olympia delle Tofane).
Similar program for the first pursuer, only 37 lengths from the top, Petra Vlhova: the Slovakian cup holder played the two fast races in Austria, collecting just 18 points with regrets related in particular to the mistake made in the final section of the super -g. The descent, which ended in 26th square, Petra played mainly in an Olympic combined key and will now go to Cortina only for next Sunday's more technical race, before moving to Kronplatz for the giant who, also in her case, will represent the last pre-Games stage.
As reported by sport.aktuality.sk, Vlhova will not go to Garmisch as the departure for China is already scheduled for January 30, in order to have a week to prepare the Olympic giant who will open the five-circle girls program. , next February 7th. Already on that occasion, and even more so 48 hours later for the slalom, the first goal will be to win a historic medal for his Slovakia.
