The World Cup rankings after the only technical race staged in the Lower Austrian town: the cup leader and Shiffrin do not make the most of the chance to further detach Bassino (who may have regrets for this two days) and Brignone . It is really all at stake already thinking about the first races of 2021.

A much more open World Cup than anyone might have thought at this point on the way. Seven athletes in just over 200 points and a Petra Vlhova who does not run away after two days of technical competitions in Semmering which, after what was seen in the first heat of the giant yesterday, seemed to be very favorable to the Slovakian.
This was not the case, between the mocking cancellation of the race between the wide doors and the fourth place today of the pupil of Livio Magoni, who still breaks through 500 points and finds herself with a +88 on the amazing Michelle Gisin seen today on the Panorama. It is impossible to exclude the Swiss from the prediction, which even in speed in Val d''Isère has perhaps collected less than what was expressed in the race on the Oreiller-Killy (especially in the second descent, then finished in 9th place), as was obviously Mikaela Shiffrin.
Of course, the American has won only once and skipped two heavy races like Soelden and Lech (in addition to the first speed appointment in Val d''Isère, but that's another matter), but she is still taking home good points and yes located at -180 from Vlhova, waiting to understand if Sunday in Zagreb he will compete regularly to compete again for the queen crown on Sljeme and understand if Mikaela's level will rise a little in his discipline, where he is certainly not yet at the top . And the blue ones? They have to believe it, and how, with Bassino and Brignone in any case under 200 points behind the leader, even if you come out with some regrets from this Austrian trip, in particular the Cuneo woman who has collected nothing despite two very high quality performances, in the first heats of both the giant and slalom (up to the fatal fork ten gates from the end).
From Sankt Anton it will be possible to recover ground, and the same goes for Sofia Goggia who is still there, just in front of an increasingly solid Katharina Liensberger.
The challenge for the slalom cup is also interesting, if we think that Gisin is only 25 points behind Vlhova and Liensberger at -50, while Shiffrin has to recover 65 points in Petra. The specialty WCSL does not see the top 7 change, with Irene Curtoni who today with a good result would have really had the chance to enter. Marta Rossetti recovered some positions, Martina Peterlini lost some, however in the thirty for Zagreb between retirements and injuries.
