A first push to which he could follow up with the decisive one already on Saturday, on the occasion of the second slalom of Are. Petra Vlhova, collecting 280 points in the last three races, was the main favorite, when after the weekend in Val di Fassa the predictions were almost entirely on the side of Lara Gut-Behrami, for the conquest of a World Cup who practically commanded from the brace in the Levi slalom forward. With five races to go, the Slovakian has 64 points ahead of the Ticino and above all two slaloms to extend further, starting with Saturday's still on the Swedish snow. If we then think that Vlhova will also be part of the match in speed at the Lenzerheide finals, on a track that is well suited to its abilities even downhill and super-g (and be careful because the weather is definitely at risk for the first races of final act of the World Cup), now the champion led by Livio Magoni really sees the finish line very close, but she will not be able to afford mistakes between the tight posts. And still in slalom, Petra is one step away from another crystal ball, and would be the second consecutive in the discipline after that of 2020: winning tomorrow, she would be sure to take her home with an early test, having currently 85 points of margin on Shiffrin and 90 on Liensberger. At the overall level, it should be noted that Michelle Gisin, albeit only eighth in the first slalom of Are, has climbed the 1000 points and sees the final third place, while Mikaela Shiffrin is in the race to overtake Marta Bassino for fourth place. Finally, the slalom WCSL: Lena Duerr entered the top 7, Kristin Lysdahl came out, while Irene Curtoni ended up dangerously towards the border of the top 15, to be defended on Saturday to start in the second sub-group also in the final race of Lenzerheide.
