It has narrowed the gap from 2 â€29 in Killington to 61 cents today, but beyond the fact that it can also be an end in itself, Petra Vlhova is returning to her slalom levels, that is close to Mikaela Shiffrin to think about beating her, at least sometimes, and be clearly the "first of the human".
Of the last 23 slaloms, 19 has won the US, 4 the Slovak star who is slowly disposing of the injury to the right shank that had conditioned him until the liberating victory of St. Moritz. And today in Lienz a really beautiful Vlhova was seen, as the world champion realized: "Yes, it was a good race with two solid heats - Petra's words - I pushed hard, Mikaela has had something more, but I am coming out of a positive weekend. Now Zagreb â€, and the feeling is that next January 4th we could have even more fun.
It was also the day of Michelle Gisin, at the first podium of her career among the rapid gates, at the expense of the "cousin" Wendy Holdener who had beaten her by 15 cents, but was disqualified for a forklift that emerged after a few minutes of ... yellow: "Sorry for Wendy, personally I am in seventh heaven for this result - explained the combined Olympic - I had started the season well, even in slalom, then I did a bit of effort in the last few races. I didn't think I could do it today, but the second heat was very good. And here I am celebrating â€.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
