Ana Bucik (SLO)
Ana Bucik is only one place ahead of Sara Hector after her unsuccessful journey. She has a chance of improvement later in the second run.
09:44
Sara Hector (SWE)
Sara Hector has more difficulties with the course. The Swede crosses the finish line more than a second after the leader.
09:43
Mikaela Shiffrin (USA)
With Mikaela Shiffrin follows the next contender for the day’s victory. The US-American didn’t catch a fabulous run in this first round. She can then eradicate problems in the upper middle section a little, in the finish line she is third.
09:41
Petra Vlhová (SVK)
And now the best slalom skier of the current winter follows! Petra Vlhová is a bit behind Wendy Holdener at the top, but she finds her way in the middle section and is in the lead. In the end, she can’t quite save this lead at the finish line, eight hundredths of a second behind the Swiss woman after her journey.
09:39
Wendy Holdener (SUI)
The first real exclamation point is Wendy Holdener! The Swiss shows a great rhythm on her ride and finds a very fast line around the bars! She replaces Lena Dürr in first place, the Swiss woman is a whopping 0.53 seconds faster!
09:37
Katharina Liensberger (AUT)
How is the first Austrian doing with Katharina Liensberger? Not bad, but this performance could be a little too little for a place near the front. After all, she is 0.32 seconds slower than the leading DSV athlete.
09:35
Anna Swenn-Larsson (SWE)
Anna Swenn-Larsson is next. And the Swede can’t crack the Germans’ time! After an unsuccessful performance, she is 0.38 seconds after Lena Dürr in the finish.
09:34
Lena Dürr (GER)
Lena Dürr is the first DSV athlete to take to the track early! The German fights down the slope with a clear view. After 52.05 seconds she crossed the finish line. What is this time enough for?
09:31
Michelle Gisin (SUI)
Let’s go, Michelle Gisin is the first runner today. But the race is over quickly for the Swiss woman! She threads the third gate and is eliminated!
09:15
Dürr’s turn early
The DSV is represented with only two runners on the start list after Paulina Schlosser broke her leg in the giant slalom yesterday. Lena Dürr is already starting from position two on the slopes. The 30-year-old took two third places in Levi this slalom season. On Tuesday at the slalom in Zagreb, she finished eleventh. While Lena Dürr is aiming for a top position right away, collecting World Cup points will be the goal for Emma Aicher. The 18-year-old wears start number 28.

Liensberger first female Austrian Ski Sports Association (ÖSV) runner
With start number four in the first run, Katharina Liensberger will want to put herself in a promising position for a top placement. As the next Austrian, Katharina Truppe is required as the eleventh starter. Katharina Gallhuber (12th starter), Chiara Mair (14th) and Katharina Huber (16th) follow a little later. Marie-Therese Sporer is wearing the starting number 25, Bernadette Lorenz is the 46th driver from Austria to finish off round one.
09:04
Five-person Swiss ski team
With Michelle Gisin, a Swiss woman opens the race. The tenth place from Zagreb has start number one in round one. The already mentioned Wendy Holdener follows as the fifth starter. Other drivers in the Swiss Ski Team today are Elena Stoffel (32nd starter), Nicole Good (44th) and Valentine Macheret (51st).
09:01
Will Vlhová win again?
Five women’s slalom races have been contested this winter, with Petra Vlhová being the fastest four times. Accordingly, the Slovak is also the top candidate for the day’s win today. Your main competitor in the battle for first place could once again be Mikaela Shiffrin, who finished second in three slaloms this season and won in Killington. Or can Katharina Liensberger or Wendy Holdener challenge the Slovak? The Austrian and the Swiss finished third and fourth in the slalom in Zagreb on Tuesday behind Petra Vlhová and Mikaela Shiffrin. The start of today’s race is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.

Women’s slalom in Kranjska Gora
Have a nice Sunday morning and a warm welcome to the women’s Alpine Ski World Cup in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Today the technology specialists compete in the slalom. Like yesterday’s giant slalom, this should actually have taken place in Maribor. A little over a week ago, the FIS decided to move the races to Kranjska Gora due to the lack of snow there and the lack of prospect of improvement.
