It represents Engelberg’s first victory in the World Cup. It took Gisin 144 runs to start and it worked on the 145th attempt. At Semmering she won eleven hundredths ahead of Katharina Liensberger of Austria and Mikaela Shiffrin of America.
“It shows that perseverance is worth it,” Gisin said. He also said it with a view to the various teammates who are currently absent due to a torn cruciate ligament – and immediately pulled the large bow: “Everything can come together at once. That can give us all a lot of courage for the new year after this disastrous 2020. “

Michelle Gisin holds this position both in the general and in the slalom world cup. Slovak Petra Vlhova leads in both races by the big and small crystal ball. It has an advantage of 88 points in the general World Cup, 25 points is its margin in the discipline ranking. Gisin is currently fourth in the giant slalom.

“I was so nervous at the time that I barely knew where the front and the rear were,” she looked back at the SRF. “When I think about what has happened in the last eight years … it is absolutely crazy and nice that now I can enjoy it.”

That’s how often Wendy Holdener has been on the slalom podium at the World Cup: 13 times in second place, 11 times in third. “Today I am not Wendy, today I am,” Gisin said, almost apologetically, “but he has what it takes to be on top.”
Holdener praised her teammate: “Hats off, what Michelle showed today is incredible. He drove really well, ”said Schwyzerin. “I told him before, ‘Hey, I’ve been trying for a long time and it seems so easy on you!’ I am very happy for her. “

This is the number of slaloms in a row that Mikaela Shiffrin or Petra Vlhova have won. This impressive series by the hit duo has ended. Almost four years after the success of Frida Hansdotter in January 2017, another pilot was back on top of the podium.

Switzerland is under a hundred when it comes to slalom victories. As Gisin’s success was Swiss Ski’s 99th victory in a World Cup slalom, both sexes joined in. The race for the anniversary victory has already been launched: a women’s slalom is scheduled in Zagreb on January 3, and the men will be in action there on January 6 with Swiss favorites Daniel Yule and Ramon Zenhäusern.

That’s how many races Swiss women had to wait to win the World Cup in slalom. For almost 19 years, Marlies Oester was the last winner, Adelbodnerin won at Berchtesgaden in January 2002.

Michelle Gisin is happy that this long dry spell is finally over: “The most important thing is that Wendy and I are not always asked about it anymore. I believe that my victory can be a liberation for the whole team, which has worked perfectly for many years and is doing everything possible to make it possible. “

On January 4, 1968 Edy Bruggmann was the first Swiss World Cup winner in the giant slalom in Bad Hindelang, Germany. Michelle Gisin contributed to the 593rd Swiss hit. It was Swiss-Ski’s fifth win this winter. If Beat Feuz, Corinne Suter, Marco Odermatt and company maintain their level, Switzerland can celebrate the 600th anniversary of this season.
