Third podium of the season and number twenty in career for the Piedmontese Marta Bassino, who came second in the Aare world cup giant slalom, the penultimate of the season. Petra Vlhova from Slovakia (2.32.59) won with a great advantage on extremely slippery snow due to the sudden spring heat that arrived in the deep north of Sweden. The third is the American Mikaela Shiffrin (2.34.29), immediately behind the blue (2.33.83).
Out of the Swedish Sara Hector in the second heat, the assignment of the giant cup remains entrusted to the last race in a week. For Italy in the standings, after Federica Brignone’s fork in the first heat, there is only Karoline Pichler but in the rear, 26 / a.
Tomorrow in Aare it’s the penultimate special slalom of the season with Vlhova who has already won the cup for some time. In any case, it will be above all a Shiffrin-Vlhova duel for the race towards the conquest of the world cup with the American who has 1,216 points and the Slovak 1,139. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow the men will instead be engaged in Kranjska Gora for two giants.
