Shiffrin, the train ran back very fast: "When I saw Petra in the second ..."

The fourth seasonal victory of the superstar of the white circus, third in as many slalom, told by the direct interested in the post race of Lienz.

For her it was the weekend of newfound certainties, although it is strange to say for an unreachable champion who, at just 24 years old, today has reached 64 World Cup successes (out of 91 podiums), at -18 from primacy to by Lindsey Vonn. With the giant slalom brace in Lienz, Mikaela Shiffrin has silenced all kinds of speeches related to a moment of difficulty, which many have linked to the absence of mother Eileen from the competition theaters. Its superiority among the rapid gates is simply sensational, with the trio after Levi and Killington which is worth the triumph n ° 43 in the specialty, but also and above all a new and decisive extension in the overall for the crystal ball, since now Federica Brignone it is 295 points apart. Still, nothing was simple because Petra Vlhova was there, at least until the middle of the second heat: “I saw Petra in the first doors of the 2nd heat - revealed Mikaela - and I said I had to push 110% to make it. It was also tough today, it's nice to win twice on a track like this (it had never been successful in the past, also because it had very few occasions ...) and thus close 2019. Now a little rest and then ... Zagreb ".
