Shiffrin and Vlhova already on the run? Yes, but now 7 quick races in series will tell us the truth about the rivals

The rankings of the Women's World Cup after the weekend (halved) in Killington: Mikaela leads with 20 points over Petra, then the void. First points for Brignone, but the real season of the blue will begin in Lake Louise.

Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova on the run for the World Cup? The answer is "nì", given that the exceptional slalom performance of two champions like those who have won four of the last five crystal balls, will lead them to play again without any doubt, but we still have to wait a couple of weeks to being able to have a clear idea of the values in the field. Yes, because of the five races held so far, including today's Killington slalom, at the end of a halved weekend due to the cancellation of the giant in Vermont, three have been between the narrow posts, one is the parallel of Lech / Zuers and the '' another the inaugural giant of Soelden. The fast races will start from Lake Louise, with the classic triptych from 3 to 5 December, then two other super-gs on 11 and 12 in Sankt Moritz and again DH + SG in Val d''Isère the following week: in practice, seven challenges at over 100 km / h, one behind the other, and here is the margin of Shiffrin and Vlhova (divided by 20 points), against Gut-Behrami, now over 250 points from Mikaela, and of other protagonists including the top blue, from Goggia to Brignone passing through Bassino who could do very well especially in super-g, could be very different. If the American will focus on speed anyway, starting from the Canadian races, it will not be the same for the Slovak, concentrated almost exclusively on technical disciplines and still leading the slalom cup, with 20 points of margin on Shiffrin and 115 on Duerr, while the holder of the trophy, Katharina Liensberger, is already at -158 with "only" six appointments still on the calendar. The specialty WCSL has not changed as regards the top 7 and not even for the second subgroup from 8 to 15, while in Italy, Martina Peterlini has dropped again, 29th (in Lienz she should start with 26, considering absences and withdrawals), while Federica Brignone has approached the top 30, in which she would almost certainly enter with a top 20 also in the Austrian appointment at the end of December where, it is almost certain, we will also see her in the tight posts 24 hours after disputed the giant on the "Schlossberg".
