Back to Back Giant Slalom victories for Marta Bassino

The Italian star won the second giant slalom of the season with a back to back victory, demonstrating her period of extreme shape in the discipline in question.

The day took place under heavy snowfall in both runs and despite the poor visibility, the race went well with a solid surface. Marta Bassino (ITA), second at the end of the first run, managed to ski as if the snow and fog did not exist, with the lightness that characterises her skiing.

Behind her an incredible Sara Hector (SWE) who climbed 2 positions to reach her third podium in her career after 6 years of absence from the top steps of the ranking.

And what about Petra Vlhova (SVK)? In 5 races the Slovakian skier scored 5 times with 3 victories and 2 podiums, including today's one. The Slovakian skier is in incredible physical shape, solid in all the tech disciplines and course sets.

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA), third after the first run, lost significant time in the second run when she got bounced by the terrain between a pair of gates.

Petra Vlhova(SVK)  leads the overall ranking with 420 points, 162 points ahead of Marta Bassino (ITA) and 213 ahead of Michelle Gisin (SUI).

Tomorrow, another giant slalom race awaits us!
