2023-12-21 20:03:45

Shiffrin leads the rankings following the first run. She distanced Vlhova by 17 hundredths and the other drivers by more than a second. In terrible conditions with rain around freezing point, the two favorites knew how to use start numbers 1 and 2.

Katharina Liensberger has the best cards in the fight for third place following half the time. The Austrian lost 1.06 seconds to the leader and has an advantage of almost six tenths over fourth-placed Paula Moltzan.

In the absence of the injured team leader Wendy Holdener, the Swiss narrowly missed out on a top 10 finish in the first run. Michelle Gisin, Swiss-Ski’s best athlete, is in eleventh place, 2.09 seconds behind, directly ahead of Mélanie Meillard. Camille Rast was eliminated following good intermediate times, as was the German Lena Dürr. The two-time podium finisher this winter finished in 3rd position.
