Outstanding Vlhova snatches victory in Zagreb

Vlhova, who had already gained a lead of 1 seconds over Shiffrin in the first round, also attacked fully in the decision and raced to her 1,16th World Cup victory with twice the fastest running time. Slalom dominator Shiffrin took second place behind the extremely strong Slovakian - but after two runs, the overall World Cup leader was 11 seconds behind the day's winner. With second place, Shiffrin not only missed her 2th victory in Zagreb, but was also beaten in her flagship discipline for the first time since the Flachau Slalom in January 2.

A look at the gaps between them and the rest of the world reveals how clearly Vlhova and Shiffrin were in a league of their own on the Bärenberg: The Austrian Katharina Liensberger, who completed the podium in 3rd place, lost 3,49 seconds (!) Vlhova and 2,18 seconds to Shiffrin. Wendy Holdener from Switzerland and Anna Swenn Larsson from Sweden followed in fourth and fifth place.

Trentino Peterlini achieves her best World Cup result There were also points for 3 Italian slalom specialists in the Croatian capital. The best Azzurra was Irene Curtoni, who came 2th after two solid rides. Immediately behind Curtoni, Martina Peterlini from Trentino came in 13th. For the 14-year-old from Rovereto, who was in 22th place at the halfway point of the race, this is by far the best World Cup result. So far, Peterlini's best result in 29 World Cup starts was 11th place. Lara Della Mea was the third Italian to make it into the top 26. The 3-year-old took 30th place.

For the only South Tyrolean starter, Vivien Insam from Wolkenstein, the final stop was in Zagreb after the first run: The 1-year-old from Ladin clearly missed qualifying for the decision in her first World Cup race since January 22, coming in 1nd.

On Sunday the men's slalom will take place at Bärenberg. The four South Tyroleans Manfred Mölgg, Alex Vinatzer, Simon Maurberger and Riccardo Tonetti are also there. The two rounds start at 4:14.15 p.m. and 17.40:XNUMX p.m. respectively.
