A thrilling draw. Vlhová and Shiffrin compete for a live trophy – PRAVDA.sk

Jasná showed a wonderful group for the winners of classic and huge slalom. Zagreb has a throne, a cloak and a crown for the winter queen. Flachau is again carried in an intergalactic tone. And Levi, where will the next slalom take place today (10.30 and 13.30)? It has a reindeer …

Petra Vlhová and her new addition.

Alpine Skiers’ World Cup venues don’t want to be just a dozen stops away. The racers want to prepare something they will never forget.

That is why they long for a party, a trophy of the Salzburg Princess Snow Universe or a former floral ornament of a Slovak bride.

Levi has also had a nice tradition since 2013. It was a great idea. The winner will receive a trophy from Santa Claus and then I can feed and rename one of the reindeer. He became her imaginary trophy.

“They are beautiful animals. I also thought ahead about the name, but I will not reveal it, “Petra told the Slovak media on Thursday.

Maybe she didn’t want to shout Saturday’s winning march, maybe she wanted to surprise another member of her team or family. She has won four times in Levi.

And so Michal (Igor inherited his father’s name), Louise (niece) and Pepi (nickname of the mental trainer) joined Michal on Saturday.

“It’s the love of my life,” Liptáček, 26, explained why she named the reindeer after her boyfriend.

There is a 4: 4 draw between her and Mikaela Shiffrin in the number of reindeer. It is also the same in the races of the current season (1: 1).

Shiffrin won in Sölden, only the second Lara Gut-Behrami was able to get within reach of her in the picture. Vlhová finished third with a more pronounced deficit.

Last week’s parallel huge slalom was missed by both rivals. And the ski world was waiting for the heavyweight duel in the first slalom of the season.

Things were going on in Levi. Little globe advocate Katharina Liensberger was far behind the best pair. The fourth, Andreja Slokarová, confirmed that the future may belong to her.

German Lena Dürrová cried when she reached the first slalom stage. It wasn’t enough for Shiffrin and the fastest Vlhova in both rounds.

“I’m very happy,” Vlhová smiled. “It wasn’t bad, but Petra was better,” Shiffrin acknowledged.

Both competitors are definitely upstairs and are preparing for another exciting slalom fight. One hundred points, another victory, the fifth reindeer…
