In the slalom everything is the same again

The Ski World Cup is slowly picking up speed. On Saturday morning the first round of the first women's slalom of the season was on the program in Levi. And he impressively revealed: This year too, the slalom ball can only go through Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin. After the first round, Vlhova leads Shiffrin by 15 hundredths of a second. Only the Austrian Katharina Liensberger was able to come close to holding a candle to the two slalom giants and is in third place, 0,52 seconds behind. There is nothing behind her for a long time: The Swiss Michelle Gisin is fourth, 3 seconds behind Vlhova. Shiffrin strong and emotional The comeback of Mikaela Shiffrin, who competed in her last World Cup race exactly 300 days ago before her life changed suddenly due to the sudden death of her father, was eagerly awaited. However, the American proved that she is still the same on skis and showed a very strong ride with start number 1, thanks to which she still has all the cards in her hand in the second round (13.15:25 p.m.). Nevertheless, the XNUMX-year-old could tell that it was an emotional return for her. During the interview with ORF, Shiffrin fought back tears. 5 Azzurre in the decision There are no South Tyroleans in Levi. An Italian woman showed this: Irene Curtoni, the 35-year-old veteran of the Azzurre team, is in a strong sixth place - everything is still possible in the second round. Marta Bassino (9th place) and Federica Brignone (14th place) also achieved a good interim result. Marta Rossetti (28th) and Martina Peterlini (29th) were also able to qualify for the decision. Serena Viviani, who has a strange story behind her ( SportNews berichtete ), finished 44th in her World Cup debut.
