On Shiffrin's black day, Sara leads Hector

Mikaela Shiffrin missed the World Cup races in Lienz due to a positive corona test, but the American celebrated a decent comeback with second place at the slalom in Zagreb on January 4th. This Saturday at the giant slalom, the co-favorite had a pitch-black day. Shiffrin started nervously, searching for the ideal line for a long time. You could see her disappointment at the finish area. She knew: This wouldn't be enough for the top places. In the end, the 26-year-old had to settle for 14th place. She is already 1,48 seconds behind the leader Sara Hector. Hector chose an aggressive line. The calculation worked out for her, the Swede leads after the first round by 8 hundredths ahead of Tessa Worley from France. The Italian Marta Bassino lurks in 3rd place. The Austrian Katharina Troupe is in 4th place. Insam missed 2nd run In addition to Bassino, Elena Curtoni, another Azzurra, will be there in the second round. She finished the first run in 2th place. Speed specialist Sofia Goggia narrowly missed the decisive second run of the top 1 in 19st place. Vivien Insam from Val Gardena, who was the only South Tyrolean to take part, is also no longer there. The 31-year-old ended up in 2th place with start number 30.
