Surprise? Relative, given that there is a talent in front of it in exceptional condition, which has now definitively exploded at these levels.
Katharina Liensnberger commands after the first heat of the world slalom in Cortina, but what is surprising is the gap suffered by the four times reigning champion Mikaela Shiffrin; the American champion does not adapt to the slope of the brand new Druscié A, finishing fourth at 1 ”30 from the Austrian. In second place (starting with bib n ° 2, immediately after Liensberger) is Petra Vlhova, with only 3 tenths of a gap and perhaps the only one able to undermine Katharina.
While Michelle Gisin's World Championship ends with a fork, Wendy Holdener is third but with 1 ”24 to recover; behind Shiffrin there is emptiness, with Lena Duerr fifth at 1 "96, ahead of Chiara Mair by 7 cents and the first Canadian, Laurence St-Germain 7 ^ to 2" 09.
