The two rounds will take place at 6:00 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. CET. For the first time, the women’s slalom contest a world cup race on the Planai men’s slope, where the traditional men’s night race will take place on January 25th. The Carinthian Katharina Truppe is missing from Austria because of a positive corona test. After five wins in six races so far, Slovakian Petra Vlhova is already sixth to secure the slalom World Cup ball in mid-January.
The only competitor in this regard is Mikaela Shiffrin. The American, who became world champion on a Schladming side slope in 2013, has 46 slalom victories. In Schladming she can snatch the discipline record held together with the Swede Ingemar Stenmark (giant slalom) solo. Most recently in Kranjska Gora, Shiffrin was eliminated in the second round.
