A greenhorn annoys Mikaela Shiffrin

It was to be expected that Mikaela Shiffrin would lead the field after the first run with a time of 1.07,89:0,14 minutes. The fact that a greenhorn of all people comes dangerously close to the ski dominator of the last few years borders on a sensation. The New Zealander Alice Robinson, who has never competed in Sölden before, is only a measly 2 seconds behind the American. Robinson is considered a huge talent and first attracted attention last year when she came second in the giant slalom at the World Cup finals in Soldeu.

“I expected Robinson to be so strong. “She shows in training that she has a lot of potential and has brought the thing down very aggressively,” said Shiffrin, praising her 17-year-old competitor, who was crowned junior world champion last year.

Pichler did not qualify for the second run Nothing comes after the leadership duo for a long time. The Italian Federica Brignone took third place, 3 seconds behind. Tessa Worley and Petra Vlhova, Shiffrin's biggest competitors on paper, are over a second behind in 0,86th and 6th place.

Karoline Pichler, South Tyrol's only representative, only started the race with the high starting number 60. The Petersberg native clearly missed her minimum goal of qualifying for the second run and ended up in 2st place, 4,40 seconds behind.
