Petra Vlhová completed her first World Cup slalom race in Levi, Finland, after almost three years. After the first run, she is in contact with the top ten, separated from the elite top five by only a few tenths of a second. Germany's Emma Aicher leads. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The Slovak skier started with number 15. The draw was not in her favor, yet she still managed the demanding steep section of the course, where she can make use of her strengths. Levi is among her most successful venues, having won there six times in the past. SITA ↗
For Vlhová, this marks a significant return to slalom after an injury. Her last World Cup start in this discipline was in January 2024 in Flachau. Following her injury, she also competed in the slalom at the February Winter Olympic Games. SITA ↗
American Mikaela Shiffrin, one of the Slovak representative's biggest rivals, is missing from the start list in Levi. This means Vlhová has one fewer favorite to contend with in the race. Former Finnish slalom skier Tanja Poutiainen predicted a top-ten finish for her before the race and also believes in a return to the podium. sme.sk ↗
The second slalom run is scheduled for the afternoon. Vlhová will be fighting to maintain contact with the leaders and to achieve the best possible placement in her first World Cup slalom after a long break. sport.pravda.sk ↗
