Two + two, over 12 months. Four victories in the specialty opening, taking all the slaloms disputed in one location, the cold and isolated Levi, increasingly his.
Petra Vlhova does not stop, she starts exactly like in the 2020/21 season that brought her the absolute World Cup, with a third place in the giant in Soelden and then a double in Finland. The only difference is the renunciation of the parallel of Lech / Zuers that she brought home in the autumn of a year ago, given that the goal of the Slovakian, in this vintage that will lead to the Olympics, is to select events and not think obsessively to the cup.
In any case, Petra is already ahead of 260 points, on a par with Mikaela Shiffrin who today has again beaten quite clearly, in the slalom bis which has confirmed her solidity, technique, physical and mental since she had to manage new leadership after the first heat, with the American at his heels.
Victory No. 22 in CdM, the fifth beyond the Arctic Circle (obviously record, one more than Shiffrin herself), is seen by the person concerned as a race that is not perfect, at least in the second. “I didn't like the performance in this heat very much - explained Vlhova to Giulia Candiago's FIS microphones after the race - It was difficult even today, but in the end I'm obviously very happy with the victory.
I thank my coach (Mauro Pini, ed) and my family, without them all this would not be possible. I'm happy and ... I don't know what else to say! ”. The fifth reindeer does not yet have a name: "This time I have not thought about it - explained Petra, who yesterday had indicated the name of her boyfriend Michal for the fourth triumph to Levi with relative prize - We will have time to do it".
