Six against the rest of the world: Holdener on course for gold

One thing is already clear: the women's slalom will be a very close affair in the second round. Six top athletes are within 0,56 seconds after the first run. The field is not led by the big favorite Mikaela Shiffrin, but by Wendy Holdener: The Swiss is in bombastic form, won combined gold a few days ago and led Switzerland to victory in the team event. Now she wants to know it in the slalom.

Shiffrin in waiting position But it won't be easy for Holdener: just 11 hundredths of a second behind Holdener is the Swede Anna Swenn Larsson, while superstar Shiffrin lurks in third place, 0,15 seconds behind. Petra Vlhova, long-time winner Shiffrin's biggest competitor in the slalom this year, is also still in wait, 0,46 seconds behind, but she had problems in difficult conditions. The Austrian Katharina Liensberger is in fourth place.

Frida Hansdotter takes sixth place; she also still has a chance of winning a medal, 0,56 seconds behind. Nothing comes after the Swede for a long time: seventh-place Christina Geiger has already lost a second and a half.

There was no South Tyrolean at the start. The best Italian is Chiara Costazza in 20th place.
