6:04 p.m
Ali Nullmeyer (CAN)
Ali Nullmeyer drives much more aggressively. The Canadian is able to limit her mistakes. The 25-year-old courageously carries it out almost all the way to the bottom. But then she falls into the last gate. The timekeeping shows elimination, but Nullmeyer actually took the goal correctly. This should still be corrected.
6:03 p.m
Michelle Gisin (SUI)
Then Michelle Gisin sneaks through the forest of poles in her usual driving style. There are sections of the route where the Engelberger woman loses almost nothing. This doesn’t work over the entire run. Nevertheless, the Swiss seems satisfied with eighth place.
6:01 p.m
Hanna Aronsson Elfman (SWE)
Afterwards, Hanna Aronsson Elfman tries this slope. The Swede shows respect, doesn’t quite have the courage and ends up two seconds behind.
5:59 p.m
Katharina Liensberger (AUT)
Katharina Liensberger performed similarly well afterwards. The slope may stabilize a little during this phase. The 26-year-old takes advantage of this and gets through without making any serious mistakes. At the finish line, you’re just over a second shy of the best time. The Vorarlberg native took a strong third place.
5:58 p.m
Katharina Troupe (AUT)
Katharina Troupe tackles it bravely. The courage pays off. This is how the Austrian carried it all the way to the finish and achieved a remarkable time. Troop ranks fourth.
5:56 p.m
Ana Bucik (SLO)
Ana Bucik continually loses a lot of time, struggles enormously with the slopes and takes over the red lantern at the finish.
17:54
Sara Hector (SWE)
A two-class society is emerging here. A huge hole opens up behind the two best. Even Sara Hector cannot conclude that. Apparently we now have to judge all athletes in third place. The Swede isn’t missing that much there – fourth place.
17:53
Lena Dürr (GER)
How does Lena Dürr overcome the big challenge? German hope doesn’t get very far. When she swings to the right, the 32-year-old slips away, promptly threads her way to the next goal and is eliminated.
17:52
Anna Swenn-Larsson (SWE)
Things are looking better for Anna Swenn-Larsson – despite her height. But then the Swede makes a huge mistake, almost stops and has to push again. And so she is still well over two seconds behind.
5:50 p.m
Leona Popović (CRO)
In addition, the soft snow, temperatures around 0 degrees and sleet cause problems. Leona Popovic struggles hard but somehow manages to make it to the finish line – with a deficit of almost two and a half seconds.
5:48 p.m
Paula Moltzan (USA)
If the best slalom skiers in the world have had their problems, what can everyone else achieve? With Paul Moltzan it quickly becomes apparent that things aren’t moving really quickly. The American loses a lot of time – more than a second and a half.
5:47 p.m
Petra Vlhova (SVK)
Petra Vlhová is now benefiting from her trainer’s course setting. At first the Slovakian finds it easier. But then the 2022 Olympic champion loses time. At the bottom she still gets something out of it, but remains 17 hundredths behind Shiffrin.
5:45 p.m
Mikaela Shiffrin (USA)
Now Mikaela Shiffrin opens the Courchevel slalom. The four-time world champion acts as a bit of a test pilot here. The American doesn’t make it through the very rotating run without making any mistakes. The demanding course setting demands everything from her. Shiffrin sets the first time, but everyone else has to do that first.
5:40 p.m
favorites
Right at the beginning of the first run it is the turn of the top favorites. The two-time season winner and wearer of the red jersey Mikaela Shiffrin can open the competition. Immediately afterwards follows Petra Vlhová, the opening winner from Levi. If the two Olympic champions fulfill their potential, it will be difficult for everyone else.
5:30 p.m
Holdener is missing injured
Wendy Holdener is not there. The best Swiss slalom skier injured her ankle during training and will be out indefinitely. Among the Swiss women, a lot of attention is focused on frequent rider Michelle Gisin (start number 12). In addition, Camille Rast (21), Mélanie Meillard (23), Elena Stoffel (28), Nicole Good (33), Selina Egloff (60), Eliane Christen (61) and Aline Höpli (67) are looking forward to the competition.
5:20 p.m
Nine Austrians
On the Austrian side, they are particularly hoping for Katharina Liensberger (start number 10), third from the first slalom in Levi and 2021 world champion. Katharina Troupe (9) is right in front of her. Other ÖSV starters are Franziska Gritsch (19), Katharina Huber (20), Katharina Gallhuber (21), Stephanie Brunner (40), Marie-Therese Sporer (51), Lisa Hörhager (52) and Nina Astner (58).
5:10 p.m
German quartet
71 athletes from 21 nations want to take part in the competition. Four of them represent the colors of the German Ski Association. The biggest hope is of course Lena Dürr (start number 6). The third-place finisher at the World Championships has already been on the podium twice this winter. We are also expecting Jessica Hilzinger (24), all-rounder Emma Aicher (27) and Andrea Filser (43).
5:00 p.m
Daily task
The alpine ski ladies are taking part in their last race before Christmas in the French Alps. As part of the large Trois Vallées ski area, Courchevel offers excellent conditions thanks to its altitude of over 1,500 meters. On the Stade E. Allais piste the start is at 2,015 meters. From here it’s 210 meters down to the valley. Mauro Pini’s course shows the way.
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to the Courchevel women’s slalom! The live ticker begins in time before the start of the race.
