Shiffrin-Vlhova, the challenge is there! Mikaela commands with 26 cents on the Slovak, then the void

First run of the Lienz slalom with the two most awaited protagonists still close, Haver-Loeseth and Liensberger chasing at 7 tenths. Fair proof of Curtoni.

Always them, Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova, but this time quite close. The first round of Lienz's women's slalom keeps the games open for the second (scheduled at 13.00), with the American queen leading with 26 cents on the Slovak, spaced only on the final wall of a "Schlossberg" in splendid conditions, thanks to the temperatures that dropped in the night. It is no coincidence that, in the last 22 slaloms, they have always won them (18 times Mikaela, on 4 occasions Petra). Already distanced the "rest of the world", even if Nina Haver-Loeseth has kept the rhythm of the superstars of the slalom until the last intermediate, and then finished third 7 tenths behind Shiffrin. In fourth place the confirmation of Katharina Liensberger, at 76 cents, after the first podium of the giant career obtained 24 hours ago. Wendy Holdener, 1 ”12 and less behind Laurence St-Germain and Duerr, did less well, with the surprise of Anna Swenn Larsson's exit (who was second in the specialty classification after two tests), while Irene Curtoni, first of the seven blue in the race (with 31 Federica Brignone) has suffered a delay of 1 "59 disputing one of the best heats since the beginning of the season.
