Petra Vlhova crowned Snow Queen

For the third time in a row in Zagreb, Petra Vlhova wore the crown of the Snow Queen.

Petra Vlhova (SVK) has been almost unbeatable in this discipline, winning four out of five slalom races this season. She just recorded a 16th slalom win, continuing a winning strike of 51 podiums. Her confidence is so big at the moment, which allows her to ski very aggressive and faster than everyone else.

Behind her is Mikaela Shiffrin (USA), the only one who can keep up the level so far and took the only win that the Slovakian couldn't. She stayed in the pits because of Covid and came right back to level. How long will it take her to overtake Stenmarkt's record of 46 victories? The busy technical programme with Kranjska Gora and Flachau will undoubtedly be exciting to see these two battling it out in the coming weeks!

Katharina Liensberger (AUT) rounded out the podium, +2.11 off the pace of the Snow Queen. Due to a glaring error, Katarina Liensberger practically came to a standstill. Still, she managed to secure this third position ahead of Wendy Holdener (SUI), who had provisionally held it in the first heat. The slalom world champion is making a comeback!

Kranjska Gora is the next stop for the ladies' Tour for a giant slalom and a slalom on 8th-9th January. The Slovenian resort took over the races from Maribor, that was cancelled due to lack of snow.
