Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone absent, Petra Vlhova dominates in Levi

Dominated the race in which the most expected blue women were absent.

Petra Vlhova takes the victory in the first Slalom in Levi, Finland, with great authority. The Slovak, already leading after the first run, routs the competition in the second run as well. The race, in which neither Sofia Goggia nor Federica Brignone nor Marta Bassino took part, saw the highly anticipated Mikaela Shiffrin finish only fourth.

Vlhova, who after the first run was less than two tenths ahead of her closest pursuer, further increased the gap on her rivals in the second run: none made up a deficit of less than five tenths from her performance. The result è that Lena Duerr, second, ranks +1.41, Katharina Liensberger è third at +1.41. Mikaela Shiffrin’s gap, on the other hand, comes in at +1.70.

First among the Italians è Martina Peterlini, who does not go beyond 17th place. Even more delayed Lara Della Mea (26th), excluded after the first run all the other azzurre.
