A Kranjska Gora slalom which represents the sixth seasonal event of the specialty, the penultimate before the Olympics since next Tuesday we will go to Schladming for a historic first.
Sunday at 9.30 the start of the 1st heat, live on TV on Eurosport 1 and Rai Sport as the second, scheduled for 12.30, and yet another duel between Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin awaited by all. The Slovakian has won 4 of the 5 races disputed, the American the only one where the holder of the general cup has conceded something, in that of Killington, but the prediction remains very uncertain. We will see them in series, one after the other, with Petra's red bib at the start for sixth and Mikaela with number 7, in a race that will inaugurate Michelle Gisin, n ° 1 before Duerr, Swenn-Larsson, Liensberger and Holdener.
Sara Hector, dominant in today's giant but still in great shape even in slalom, will start in eighth before Bucik, who dreams of a great result at home, but there will be other Austrians in great shape to keep an eye on, such as Troops ( 11) and Gallhuber (12), but also out of the second sub-group Huber (16), Popovic (17), Mielzynski (18) and the other Canadian Nullmeyer (19), amazing with 5th place in comeback in Zagreb.
Many absences due to Covid, from those already known in Switzerland with Rast and Danioth above all, passing through Stjernesund's Norway to the Swedish outbreak, which practically did not affect only the Swenn-Larsson and Hector tips.
And Italy is reduced to a minimum like other national teams: without Brignone, but also the other injured players such as Peterlini, Viviani and a Midali who has just returned to the giant, without Tschurtschenthaler who was positive before Zagreb and now also without Lara Della Mea. The positivity of the Tarvisian (who had qualified for the first time in the season last Tuesday) has not been communicated, but already removed from the list of summons by the FISI a couple of days ago and out of the official startlist. Another blow for Devid Salvadori, who will only count on Marta Rossetti (bib 31), moreover with an ankle still swollen like a melon, Sophie Mathiou (n ° 42) and Anita Gulli, 48th of only 57 athletes registered.
Tracking of the two heats entrusted respectively to Mauro Pini, Petra Vlhova's coach, and the guide of the Austrians Hannes Zoechling.
