Michelle Gisin now has the complete collection which means a lot to her. In the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora (Sln), the 27-year-old is third and now occupies the podium in the five Palmarès ski disciplines. No Swiss woman has done that since Vreni Schneider! Vreni is a popular heroine, a ski legend. That he has done it now is also incredible, ”says Gisin.
Review. When the Engelberger crosses the finish line on the icy, shady slope in northwestern Slovenia with the second fastest time, it’s official: it will finish the race on the podium. Never mind that Italian domineering giant Marta Bassino is even faster soon after. Gisin did.
And the mobile phone of the SonntagsBlick reporter is already flashing: a WhatsApp message. The sender is Vreni Schneider. She writes: “Incredible! Fantastic! “Gisin shortly after: “The fact that Vreni is thinking of me right now and congratulating me makes this podium even more special.”
Gold-Vreni is excited about Gisin. “He has been driving with such ease and joy since the beginning of the season. My hat is off to her, ”said the Elmer woman.
“Here you lie face down”
Schneider watches the first race in front of the television at home. Gisin is drifting some goals, but who doesn’t this Saturday? «It was an incredibly difficult giant slalom, prepared with lots of water. But I noticed that Michelle was in a good mood even before the start, and that’s exactly how she was driving, ”said Schneider.
In the afternoon, the ski legend, who runs the ski, snowboard and racing school in his home country, has to worry for a moment. Not because I doubt Gisin. «No, I had to take care of everything in Kinderland and after my son Flavio, who turned 15 on Saturday, collect. So I wasn’t sure I was ready in time for Michelle’s race. “
In the end it works, Schneider never misses a second. And Gisin? She says, “This slope was difficult but something like that is absolutely necessary in women’s skiing. “ The fact that the route is more like an ice rink than a ski slope does not matter. On the contrary. “The more aggressive the snow, the more cruciate ligament tears there are. Here you just lay on your butt if you do something wrong, usually nothing else happens. “
Lara Gut-Behrami, eighth, is also adjusting well to the conditions, Priska Nufer (19th), Mélanie Meillard (20th) and Simone Wild (25th) also score points. Wendy Holdener, on the other hand, leaves early.
