An open crisis? No, given that the continuity of performance and results still remains of the highest level, but certainly Petra Vlhova has returned from very difficult races (excluding the two speed races in St. Anton, where she did well downhill anyway and then committed a serious error in super-g when she was traveling strong), or the last three techniques where she failed to get on the podium.
Livio Magoni himself, technician and mentor of the World Cup leader, does not hide that between Flachau and Kranjska Gora, where the Slovakian has collected two fourth places and the tenth of the second giant on Podkoren, her worst placement in the season between wide doors and slalom when she reached the finish line (in fact she came out in the 1st heat of the giant number 2 of Courchevel).
Vlhova restarted today from the snows of Selvino, practically at home Magoni who explained to us what happened in the last cup matches that saw Gisin shorten to -60 on Petra (with Bassino just over 150 points behind): " sting between Flachau and Kranjska Gora, there are no excuses from all of us, we sucked - the as always frank analysis of the Bergamo technician - Having received a negative response from the FISI for the training between Cortina and Kronplatz (next appointment giant on January 26, where various national teams work today and tomorrow including Switzerland, United States, France and Slovenia), we start again from Selvino and do not give up a shot.
Morale in the team is high, Petra's too. We just need to work: we will also do giant exercises once we arrive in Crans-Montana on Tuesday, before the downhill tests ”.
