After the cancellation of the giant slalom in Sölden, the two downhill runs in Zermatt/Cervinia and the parallel race in Lech/Zürs, the in Levi scheduled slaloms (from 10.00 a.m. or 10.15 a.m. CET, live ORF 1) confirmed since Friday.
Also for the competitions on November 26th and 27th in Killington the International Ski Federation (FIS) gave the go-ahead after a positive snow check on Wednesday. A slalom and a giant slalom are scheduled in the resort on the US east coast.
Good conditions in Levi
16 teams used the creative break for training on the slopes in Levi. Among them were the Austrians on the one hand, but Mikaela Shiffrin also had a new experience for her. “It’s the first time that I’m training here before the races and I’m happy about it,” the American told the World Federation (FIS). Now she also has a little time to look around the town a little. Shiffrin has won Levi four times, Petra Vlhova even five times. On her break day, the Slovakian would like to visit the reindeer she received last year for her success, the usual prize there.
In the spring, 60,000 cubic meters of snow were stored for the races, and according to Vlhova it was worth it. “The conditions are good. The slope has everything a slalom course should have.” A year ago she won twice, ahead of Shiffrin and the German Lena Dürr. As the best Austrian, Katharina Liensberger was sixth and eighth. In 2020, the Vorarlberg native had finished third, and Vlhova had won twice there too. Shiffrin won one race in 2019, Katharina Truppe from Carinthia finished third, and Vlhova was eliminated.
The next planned women’s competitions are the women’s slaloms in Levi (Finland) on 19./20. November. Then the overseas stations wait, the women drive in Killington (USA) a giant slalom (November 26) and a slalom (November 27), before two downhill runs (December 2/3) and a Super-G (December 4). Lake Louise (Canada) goes. The men begin in late November Lake Louise with downhill (25th) and two Super-G races (26th/27th), in Beaver Creek (USA) are waiting for a downhill double (2nd/3rd) and a Super-G (4th).
