Slalom time in Killington, for a Sunday “necessary” to save the weekend of the Women's World Cup in the States, after the bitter cancellation of the giant, definitively interrupted after only nine athletes descended during the first heat.
The conditions should be decidedly better to allow the dispute of the third challenge between the narrow poles after the two races of Levi which gave the same podium, with Petra Vlhova in front of Mikaela Shiffrin and Lena Duerr. The Slovakian is called to interrupt a reign, that of the American who has always won on her home track: 4 out of 4 in the previous editions of the Killington slalom, from 2016 to 2019, and the desire to write that "46" in the box of successes in slalom for Mikaela, as many as those of Ingemar Stenmark in giant.
Will it be the right time? We will find out in a few hours, with the first heat scheduled at 3.45 pm Italian time (9.45 am local time), based on Gfeller, the Norwegian coach, while the second at 6.45 pm will have the mark of Matej Gemza, the technician who has been following for years (from this year in support of Mauro Pini, first with Livio Magoni) own Petra Vlhova. And it will be the absolute cup holder to open the race, having caught the number 1 again as for the giant only partially disputed this Saturday.
Could this be a small advantage for Vlhova? We will see, already the evidence of Gisin (2) and Holdener (3), that they did well to Levi even if they are not yet 100%, will tell us a lot and then after Swenn-Larsson here is the most awaited woman in these parts and not only. Bib 5 for Shiffrin, preceding Duerr and a Liensberger with a great desire for redemption.
In the second sub-group Andreja Slokar fished well, n ° 9 between Hector and compatriot Bucik, then the disappointments of Levi, that is St-Germain, Lysdahl and Mair before Dubovska and Moltzan to close with 15. And Italy? Of the 63 athletes in the race (last at the start Stephanie Brunner), 6 will be blue and the first at the start is obviously Martina Peterlini, number 23 after the good tests of Levi, 21st and 16th with some positions recovered in the WCSL.
Top ten goal for thirty? Yes, and maybe that of the points for Brignone and the others: the Aosta Valley has decided to sign up, she will start with 32 and is in condition, without forgetting that in Killington she risked (before going out on the best in the 2nd heat) to bring home a great result in slalom, then Della Mea (33) and Rossetti (34) to follow to level up and confidence. A more complicated mission is that of Midali, at the gate with the n ° 49, and Gulli with the 58, but in the battle of the "Superstar", hoping that it will be a very different story than what we have seen (a little) in the giant, it will be necessary to jump without fear.
