We return to the crime scene, in the night theater of Flachau where, on January 8, 2019, Mikaela Shiffrin suffered the last defeat in slalom, at least before the race that opened 2020 in Zagreb.
And the opponent capable of preceding her is always the same, that Petra Vlhova who on the "Hermann Maier Strecke" burned the American for 15 cents; ten days after the challenge on Sljeme which instead saw the Slovak dominate with 1 â€31 on Mikaela, there is great expectation for a new duel between the superstars of a discipline in which the two of them really seem to do another sport.
So on Tuesday evening here is the fifth seasonal slalom, with the start of the 1st race designed by Christian Thoma (who trains the Swedes) scheduled at 6.00 pm, while at 8.45 pm the second will start (with Shiffrin's technician, Mike Day, to track). Katharina Liensberger, here on the podium for the first time in her career 12 months ago, will open a race in which the 22-year-old from Vorarlberg could be very dangerous, given her state of form.
With the number 2 here is immediately Vlhova, then Swenn Larsson (remember the "ghost" fork that cost her the podium in favor of Liensberger?) And Shiffrin, who will have the 4 and will precede Gisin, Troops and Holdener. In the second subgroup the first of the seven blue ones, with Irene Curtoni who has drawn the number 10 again; after her we will see if Della Mea manages to catch the third consecutive points result (the Tarvisian will try with the bib number 34), as well as the splendid Martina Peterlini seen in Zagreb (n ° 47, a weight result can be worth the 'entry in 30), while Marta Rossetti with 56 and the trio formed by Insam, Midali and Gulli, in series from 62 to 64, will have to look for the qualification on a track already very marked.

Cancellati dalla FISI, il silenzio del mondo dello sci ci ha ucciso due volte: Olga e Marcello Franzoso non si nascondono
Il collega Matteo Macor de La Repubblica ha intervistato i genitori di Matteo Franzoso, scomparso esattamente un anno fa dopo 48 ore di agonia in seguito all'incidente di La Parva. Durissime le loro parole nei confronti della Federazione e in generale dell'ambiente, solo la Guardia di Finanza ci è stata vicina. Oggi il corpo militare del quale faceva parte il velocista ligure gli ha intitolato una sala del museo a Predazzo.
