Vlhova promises Shiffrin a hot dance

“It will be a good fight between me and Miki,” said Vlhova after gold in the giant slalom, looking ahead to the slalom on Saturday (11.00 a.m./14.30:XNUMX p.m.).

Shiffrin has been unbeaten in World Championship slaloms since her first gold in Schladming in 2013. This World Cup season she has won six of seven races in her specialist discipline, each time ahead of Vlhova. At the beginning of January in Flachau, Austria, the Slovakian was able to turn the tables.

However, the rivalry between the two 23-year-olds is limited to the slopes. “It is very motivating and inspiring to have such an opponent,” said Super-G world champion Shiffrin after her bronze medal in the giant slalom on Thursday: “It is important to have opponents like Petra or Vicky (Rebensburg), they raise the level , the rest of us follow along, and so there is a fight in every race.”

Vlhova: “We push each other to the limit” Vlhova apparently sees it the same way. “I'm so happy,” she said about the constant duel with the great American, “it was often very close. We always fight on the slopes, push ourselves to the limit in every race and take our sport to a higher level. That’s good for me and good for them, or so I hope.”
