Local hero Petra Vlhova won ahead of New Zealander Alice Robinson (+0.16 seconds) and Shiffrin (+0.37). After the race, the American superstar praised his rival, but clearly fired at the organizers.

“Such action is a shame and not entirely fair either. I have to say that I am really angry, even if Petra drove very well. I am also sure that the whole of Slovakia can be proud of her. Unfortunately something like this happens more often and she will come back. to happen and I have to learn to deal with that, ”said the two-time Olympic champion.

In fact, the helpers worked several minutes to replace the broken door post. This made Shiffrin feel disturbed in her concentration. “It’s not good if you win a race because there is a one-minute break in front of the competitor. Normally it takes 15 seconds to score a goal,” said the 25-year-old American.

“It is better that it happened here than in the Cortina World Cup or the Olympic Games. Now you can say that my behavior is also unsportsmanlike, but I say yes, Petra really did very well. Also in her first race she drove great, “Shiffrin explained, adding,” Maybe I wouldn’t have won like that either, but you don’t want to get into a situation like that. “
