Petra Vlhová will attack the victory: Online broadcast from the 2nd round of the giant slalom in Lienz – Športky.sk

LIENZ – Slovak skier Petra Vlhová took second place in today’s huge slalom in Lenz, Austria. French Tessa Worley rejoices in the victory. Swedish skier Sara Hector finished third.

New Zealander Alice Robinson, who closed the elite draw seven, and Austrian Katharina Liensberger returned to the starting list after COVID-19. On the contrary, after positive tests for the coronavirus, the leader of the overall ranking of the World Championships, Mikaela Shiffrin from the USA, and the Swiss Lara Gutová-Behrami, were missing.

Vlhová started with number 3 and tried to keep a saving track on a demanding track. In the meantime, her loss to Worley increased, but in the final passage the Slovak national team managed to accelerate.

The French opened the competition with the unit and was not overtaken by any of the rivals, unlike 12 hundredths, Hector approached it. The Swede finished second and first in Courchevel before Christmas and was not afraid of a risky ride again. She did not guard only one goal, for which she did not get into the interim lead. Robinson, who also regretted the only significant mistake, figured only four hundredths behind Vlh. However, Mowinckelová from the second drawn group 8-15 was ahead of Slovakia.
