You are absent (Rast, Danioth, Meillard, Stjernesund, O''Brien and the blue Tschurtschenthaler) and a great doubt, the one related to Mikaela Shiffrin, which seems resolved.
Once again a particular eve, but in times of Covid it is no longer a novelty, the one towards the fifth slalom of the Women's World Cup, scheduled for Tuesday in Zagreb (the 1st heat at 12.30, the 2nd at 16.05).
What will happen this afternoon, at 17.00? At that time the captains' meeting will begin, with the relative draw of the bibs, and in the startlist of the Croatian slalom there is Mikaela Shiffrin, already forced to skip the two technical races in Lienz due to the positivity remedied last December 27, at the eve of the Austrian giant.
Seven days later, within the US national team it was hoped to be able to field the World Cup leader in the “Snow Queen Trophy”, which Mikaela has already won four times in his career. So what was decided to do, having to present a negative PCR in order to compete? The test was carried out only today, as the technician Paul Kristofic had explained to Steve Porino, journalist of Ski Racing Media. "Mikaela is not yet in Zagreb, we are waiting for the last useful moment to have more hope of a negativity".
And according to what we learned this afternoon directly from the organizing committee of the two days in the Croatian capital, the champion of Colorado would have been negative and immediately left for Zagreb to compete tomorrow, even without training but not having even had symptoms in recent days.
For a new duel with Petra Vlhova, who has won the last two editions of the Croatian slalom, and defend her cup throne.
