Petra Vlhova, on the other hand, was unstoppable: the 25-year-old showed an outstanding performance in terms of agility in turns and also in terms of precision, once again she set the best time, at the end she finished her ninth victory in a slalom of the World Cup, his second at Levi after 2017; 18 hundredths ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin, 57 ahead of Katharina Liensberger. “The second race was a bit more difficult for me than the first, when you are last at the top you can feel some pressure. But I got along quite well and in the end it turned green,” Vlhova reported.

Katharina Truppe, who took her first place on the podium of her career a year ago at Levi, didn’t really get going, already on the top and flat of the track, the Carinthian lost more than half a second in the first race, he added the finish line after a quite a bump on the steep incline in 1.16 seconds – eighth place. With increasing winds and snowstorms, the 24-year-old kept her nerves in check in the final and was rewarded with seventh place (+1.77). “I can be quite satisfied with that, having fallen completely asleep the first part of the first race,” said the cheerful Carinthian, who once again showed that the work in Constance’s terms is now paying off.

The Chiara Mair zipline, which started the race with start number seven on Saturday, went from 16th to 8th with a good second run (+2.04), it was the third result in the top ten of the 24-year-old Götznerin in series. “In fact, I struggled a lot because I didn’t have any good experience with Levi. The first race was a success for me, the second was just a dream.” Mostviertel’s Katharina Huber, in 11th position at halftime, blocked all chances of a clear decision improvement due to an error on the steep slope and landed in 10th position (+2.25). The bottom line is, however, the best result in a year, when the 25-year-old was eighth at Levi.
