The comeback must necessarily start from the weekend most felt for her, the one that will bring Jasna back to the World Cup five years after her last appearance.
Petra Vlhova knows she will play a lot between Saturday and next Sunday, when the penultimate giant of the season and the sixth of the nine slaloms will be staged on the snows where she grew up, with two more races between the tight posts the following week in Are. important to try to grab and overtake, before the finals in Lenzerheide, the wild Lara Gut-Behrami who took away her leadership in Val di Fassa.
The three races at Passo San Pellegrino saw the Slovak champion defend herself on the descent, before committing a fatal mistake in the super-g and finishing out of the points; Petra returned home (a few kilometers from Jasna) to recover psycho-physical energies before the final rush and, yesterday evening, she was joined by her staff led by Livio Magoni.
Today giant and slalom training, to get to the top at an appointment where Vlhova is called to at least shorten compared to the 187 points that divide it from the top of a general classification that has practically commanded from the Levi slalom forward. And on Sunday there will also be the fight for the slalom cup, given that the Liensberger world champion is only 40 points behind the Slovakian, who will in any case have to go all out in "her" four races to collect as much as possible, also considered competition from Shiffrin and Gisin. Then they will do the math, after Jasna and Are.
