Vlhova also keeps her competition at bay in Schladming

The interim results in the women's night slalom in Schladming are not a big surprise. Petra Vlhova once again underlined her dominance and, after a confident first run, is aiming for her sixth slalom success of the current season. Rather, the Slovakian is already reaching for victory in the discipline rankings.

On the one hand, Vlhova benefited from optimal conditions on the floodlit slope. On the other hand, her biggest challenger made some inaccuracies in the fight for the small crystal ball. Mikaela Shiffrin is in fifth place, over four tenths behind. The German Lena Dürr (+5) and Wendy Holdener (+0,27) proved to be the closest pursuers of the half-time leaders. Decision about crystal ball is looming Before the race, Vlhova was 240 points ahead of Shiffrin in the discipline standings. With her performance in the first round, the Slovakian laid the foundation for repeating her crystal triumph from the 2019/20 season. Shiffrin would therefore not only need a victory, but also support from the other athletes in the top field in order to maintain her theoretical chances of her seventh success in the slalom ranking.

Vera Tschurtschenthaler, the only South Tyrolean in the starting field, started the race with start number 48. The technician from Sexten celebrated her comeback in the World Cup after recovering from the corona infection. When they returned, however, it wasn't enough for the second round. The 24-year-old came in 3,76th, 49 seconds behind.

With Anita Gulli, the Azzurre have at least one athlete represented in the decision. The Turin native impressed with the high start number 53 and qualified for the second run with 21st place. You can find the entire first round to read in the live ticker attached below. The decision starts at 20.45:XNUMX p.m.
