Shiffrin, 0.27 seconds behind Vlhova in the first race, turned the tables in the second race and finally prevailed 0.34 seconds ahead of the Slovak home hero and 52 hundredths ahead of Holdener. For the 25-year-old, who also won the last slalom at Jasna 2016, it was the 69th World Cup victory and, after the giant slalom at Courchevel and the slalom at Flachau, the third success of the season.
With 1.42 behind the winner, Liensberger landed as the best Austrian in fourth place. A series of pride came to an end for world champion Cortina: for the first time this season, Liensberger did not take the podium in a slalom. Vorarlberg’s wife had already lost too much time in the first round to seriously intervene in the fight for victory.

More aggressiveness in Liensberger
“There was definitely more aggressiveness than in the first round. I tried to attack and push, you just need to get down here. The other three traveled well, so I know what to do next time. It was important to find the fastest line from the beginning, that is, to attack from the beginning, ”Liensberger said in an interview with ORF.
The 23-year-old did not want to hide some annoyance at the end of her podium series in slalom this season. “Fourth place is a bit different, but you have to accept it. Next time I’ll give it my all again and have 100% fun The others don’t sleep either, ”said the Vorarlberg woman, who fell back to third place in the Slalom World Cup behind Shiffrin. Three races before the end of the season, Vlhova is 45 points ahead of the American and 70 points ahead of Liensberger.
Mair and company are left behind
For the remaining Austrians, without exception, the list of results went in the wrong direction in the second round. Chiara Mair, who was seventh in the first round, fell back to 19th place (+4.41 seconds), Franziska Gritsch slipped from 11th to 21st place (+4.54). Katharina Gallhuber also scored World Cup points in 26th place. Katharina Huber and Katharina Truppe on their return were canceled in the second round.
