Snow slip at Semmering: Shiffrin conquers the World Cup!

At the legendary Semmering, the time has come again: A spectacular World Cup weekend awaits the ski fans! There have already been heated discussions in the middle of the latest developments. The traditional night slalom will not take place this year, since international TV reporting gives priority to the “crime scene”. Michaela Dorfmeister, the two -time Olympic champion and vice president of the Lower Austrian State Kivian Association, expressed her displeasure with Laola1 about the importance of sport towards the media and explained that the attractiveness of the event suffers from this decision.

winner of the giant slalom: Mikaela Shiffrin triumphs!

for ski star Mikaela Shiffrin it was a special day when she celebrated her 78th victory in the World Cup on Tuesday. The 27-year-old American prevailed against Slovakian Petra Vlhova in the giant slalom with a wafer-thin lead of 0.13 seconds. Shiffrin dominated the first half of the run in front of 3,500 spectators and left the competition behind. Katharina Liensberger was only able to reach the 13th place at the home race. "I didn't drive flawlessly, but I attacked," said Liensberger, while her team -mate Katharina Truppe described Shiffrin's extraordinary performance as "crazy". This impressive idea of ​​Shiffrin brings her closer to her goal of becoming the record winner in the World Cup.

home advantage for the ÖSV team?

The ÖSV team team, which is launched at Semmering, could benefit from home advantages, believes Dorfmeister. The Austrian ski drivers have trained on the route and should be able to better adapt to the new conditions. "It makes a big difference in your head if you already know the route well," said her conviction. While the ÖSV talents are fighting with the challenge, the Semmering still offers a stage for exciting duels and gripping competitions, while the best in the world are fighting for victory.
