Vlhova on the way to becoming the new slalom queen

After Vlhova had a lead of 1,31 seconds over the runner-up at the last World Cup slalom in Zagreb, things were much more exciting on Tuesday. The Slovakian, who was clearly in the lead after the first round, saved a lead of 1 hundredths of a second to the finish. But in Flachau, her long-term rival Mikaela Shiffrin didn't end up in second place, as the American was intercepted by Sweden's Anna Swenn-Larsson in the final.

The half-time 4. In the second round, he stepped on the accelerator, set the best running time and ended up in second place. It was almost enough to win his first World Cup. Shiffrin, however, had to settle for third place in the end. The slalom dominator of recent years has to admit defeat for the second time in a row, after previously winning 2 World Cup slaloms in a row (plus the World Cup slalom in Aare). The ambitious Shiffrin's disappointment at the finish was clearly noticeable.

The best Azzurra was Irene Curtoni in 13th place. An exclamation mark was made by the young Italian Marta Rossetti, who had just qualified for the second round in 56th place with start number 30. In the final, the 2-year-old even went one better and ended up in 20nd place. Rossetti thus scored her first 22 World Cup points. However, Vivien Insam from Val Gardena was unable to qualify for the second run in 9th place.
