Mikaela twice second to Levi and leading the cup like Vlhova. On the "Superstar", where he will compete in the next weekend, he has always won in slalom in the previous four from 2016 to 2019, never in giant.

A victory and two second places in three races, 260 points and the overall leadership of the World Cup shared with Petra Vlhova (formally she is ahead of the Slovakian with two wins to one), who beat her twice in the lap of 24 hours in his favorite discipline.
Maybe she won't smile to 32 teeth, but a Mikaela Shiffrin leaves from Levi anyway satisfied with the loot collected, also because the American champion had not exclusively prepared this appointment, training (with some back problems) at Copper Mountain also and above all from the giant to the descent, thinking about the next cup weekends which will already be very important in the race for the general which, even if the person directly concerned shrugs, already sees her as the main favorite.
“They are two fantastic podiums - comments Shiffrin after the race - also because I didn't have many certainties in this discipline. The mistake in the 2nd heat? I tried, in the end it went well and what I can say is that we leave these two races with confidence ”.
A circus number, the one at the attack of the wall in the decisive round, cost at least a good part of those 47 cents missed to beat Vlhova, but the regrets are not of Shiffrin's home and we look ahead, also because on the horizon there is '' is an appointment that Mikaela is very keen on. In fact, in Killington, the Colorado native has grown up skiing and so, in the Vermont town that will host a giant on Saturday and a slalom next Sunday, there are always special races for her, even more so after last year's cancellation due to pandemic situation. .
Mikaela has never won in the giant over the “Superstar”, always mocked by the blue in particular (last two victories for Brignone and Bassino), while in the slalom she has never made a mistake. Four victories out of four editions, from 2016 to 2019, and after being forced to take pride of place in this specialty opening in Levi, we are confident that the battle with Vlhova (and not only) will rise to even more important levels between a few days, on the other side of the ocean.
