Vlhova fends off the Liensberger attack

The Austrian, who was in third place after the first round, turned up the heat in the decision and conjured up a fabulous time in the snow. Her first World Cup victory was within reach - also because Mikaela Shiffrin, who was still in second place after the first run, was racing against time. The American made a mistake in the upper part of the route that dropped her in the rankings. Unlike half-time leader Petra Vlhova, who held her nerve and saved a lead of 1 hundredths of a second to the finish.

Vlhova also took the lead in the overall World Cup. The Slovakian is now 64 points ahead of Lara Gut-Behrami. At the same time, Vlhova extended her lead in the discipline rankings over Shiffrin and Liensberger with her fourth slalom victory this winter. The American had to settle for third place on Friday.

No points for the Azzurre From the Azzurre's point of view, only Martina Perterlini and Irene Curtoni are there in Åre. Both were eliminated in the second round and therefore did not collect any World Cup points. This is particularly bitter for Peterlini because she has not yet qualified for the World Cup final in Lenzerheide. That's why the Trentino native will insist on making amends on Saturday (2/10.30). Then another slalom is on the agenda for the women at the 13.45 World Cup venue. With the SportNews -Live ticker so you don't miss anything.
