Petra Vlhová confirmed in Tuesday’s huge slalom in Lienz that she still has to be reckoned with.

In the fourth season of this season, the Alpine Skiers’ World Cup took second place, three tenths of a second behind the victorious Tessa Worley.

According to Vlhová, the team managed to transfer the training progress to the competition slope in its own words and reactions.

The body of Mauro Pini is slowly getting used to new skis and is bringing new knowledge to the Swiss coach.

Today she is facing a slalom (the first round starts at 10.00, the second at 13.00), her heart affair. There were three in the current year. Vlhová won both in Levi, in Killington she was not enough just for the home Mikael Shiffrin.

Due to a positive coronavirus test, the American has to miss the duel in Lienz, so the Slovak is a clear favorite to win.

She can also strengthen her position as the leader in the evaluation of the most rotating discipline. What does he say?

“I don’t want to shout anything, but I feel good in slalom. It’s about how I sleep and my day goes out. I am ready, “Vlhová told RTVS.

Even before the huge slalom, she criticized weak anti-pandemic measures in Lienz. Her brother Boris admitted that they were also looser last week in Courchevel, France.

“It’s Russian roulette, we’re still waiting for the test results to turn out. It’s a bit burst in Courchevel, there’s a better bubble in Austria.

It was not like that in France and it was to be expected. So our measures are a veil and a hand wash, “Boris Vlha admitted for TASR.

Shiffrin was hit by the disease at the worst possible time. The American woman has an excellent form, which she wanted to confirm at the turn of the year, when several races in technical disciplines are traditionally held.

In addition to Lienz, there are also traditional slaloms in Zagreb (January 4), Maribor (huge slalom and slalom on the 8th and 9th January) and Flachau (January 11).

It is unknown whether the three-time World Cup winner will make it. New Zealander Alice Robinson and Austrian Katharina Liensberger returned yesterday after COVID-19. In addition to Shiffrin, Lara Gutová-Behramiová from Switzerland and Maryna Gasienicová-Danielová from Poland were also missing.

“Seeing that racers aren’t perfectly fine. It must be frustrating. You sacrifice everything, train hard, and then the coronavirus stops you.

It is a huge loss for female skiers who go for a big globe, because sometimes the point difference is minimal, “added former Slovak skier Veronika Velez-Zuzulová.
