Bassino in waiting position, but others make the music

Marta Bassino is the outstanding giant slalomist this season and has won four of six World Cup races so far. With two giant slalom runs to go, the newly minted 25-year-old from Cuneo is 128 points ahead in the discipline rankings and can secure the first crystal ball of her career on Sunday. At halftime, Bassino is in fifth place in Jasna, where she was crowned junior world champion in giant slalom in 2014, and is therefore fully on track for the second round (12.30 p.m.) - even if the gap of 0,84 seconds is considerable is. Others set the tone on Sunday morning, especially the two giants Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova. The American showed an outstanding, almost perfect ride with start number two and is leading the classification. Only local hero Vlhova, who was 0,16 seconds behind, was able to stand up to her in the first run. Lara Gut-Behrami, who is currently leading the overall ranking, suffered a setback and is only ranked 14th in the half-time rankings. Decision from 12.30 p.m With sunny weather and good conditions, two outsiders also made people sit up and take notice on Sunday. The Pole Maryna Gasienica-Daniel, who has never been better than ninth in the World Cup, surprised everyone with her ride and is sensationally in third place at halftime (+0,44 seconds). Nina O'Brien, which first really appeared at the World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo , ranks fourth (+0,49). Federica Brignone is in sixth place. The decision will take place in Jasna from 12.30 p.m. RTL for women, standings after the first round Pos Name Country Time 1. Mikaela Shiffrin USA 1.08,35 min 2. Peter Vlhova SVK +0,16 3.

Bassino in waiting position, but others make the music

After the first giant slalom round in Jasna, Slovakia, a duel between Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova is looming. But two outsiders still have a chance - just like Marta Bassino, who is pursuing a completely different goal this Sunday.
