THE CHRONICLE OF THE FIRST HEAT
11.19 Thanks for following us, appointment at 13.00 for the second heat. See you later.
11.18 The final placements of the other unqualified Italians. Della Mea 35th at 2″74, Tschurtschenthaler 44th at 3″06, Rossetti 50th at 3″43.
11.16 Nothing to do even for the Italian-Albanian Lara Colturi, making her debut in the World Cup and not qualified for just 9 cents! Between the first and second set you set the ninth fastest time overall…
11.15 A qualified blue: Anita Gulli 22nd at 1 ″ 95. Outside Della Mea, Rossetti and Tschurtschenthaler.
11.13 The first round of Levi’s slalom therefore ends. The German Lena Duerr leads with 0.45 on the Swedish Swenn Larsson, 0.55 on the American Shiffrin and 0.57 on the Slovakian Vlhova. Followed by Bucik and Holdener at 0.61, Ljutic at 0.77, Aronsson Elfman at 1.06, Guest and Hector at 1.08. These are the top ten.
11.10 OUT OF A BREATH LARA COLCULI! 33rd at 2″59, the qualification was just 9 cents away. However the stocca is there, in some sections he skied really well, despite being 16 years old.
11.08 Here we are, it’s time for the Albanian Lara Colturi. We’ll see if she’ll have to start gnawing…
11.06 Marta Rossetti, on the other hand, is too woody, also in technical difficulty on the wall. She closes 39ma at 3″ 43, she’s out. However, Italy qualified an athlete, it wasn’t obvious.
11.05 ANITA GULLI QUALIFIES! 22nd at 1″92!
11.03 It’s the turn of Anita Gulli and Marta Rossetti.
11.01 Lara Della Mea is already 31st, therefore out of the second heat. She now needs to be under 2″60 to qualify.
10.59 The next blue will be Anita Gulli with 47 and Marta Rossetti with 48. Then the Italian-Albanian Lara Colturi with 53.
10.58 Nothing to do even for Tschurtschenthaler, 32nd at 3 ″ 06. Both blues have lost too much since the initial plan. We are not there, but we are waiting for Gulli and Rossetti.
10.57 Della Mea 30th at 2 “74, almost impossible qualification. Now Vera Tschurtschenthaler.
10.57 It’s time for Lara Della Mea!
10.56 The young Swedish Hanna Aronsson Elfman is very good, even eighth with bib number 36 at 1 “06!
10.54 The German Andrea Filser is 24th at 2 ″ 28. Soon the blue ones.
10.53 Outside the Swiss Nicole Good.
10.53 The German Jessica Hilzinger did well, 20th at 1 ″ 91.
10.52 Forked for the Swiss Melanie Meillard.
10.51 The Austrian Franziska Gritsch is 24th at 2 ″ 39.
10.50 If the blues want to qualify for the second round, they will have to try to limit the gap to under 2″50. However, the track is holding up well.
10.48 After the first 30, the German Lena Duerr is in the lead with 0.45 on the Swedish Swenn Larsson, 0.55 on the American Shiffrin and 0.57 on the Slovak Vlhova. Followed by Bucik and Holdener at 0.61, Ljutic at 0.77, Guest and Hector at 1.08, Stjernesund at 1.12.
10.47 The Slovenian Neja Dvornik, 30th to go down, is 20th at 1 ″ 93.
10.46 The Austrian Maria-Therese Sporer is 22nd at 2 ″ 29.
10.45 ZRINKA LJUTIC’S TALENT BLOSSOMS! The 2004 Croatian class is seventh at 77 cents, therefore in the running for the podium. A true predestined, is coming…
10.43 19th at 2 “05 the Swiss Aline Danioth.
10.42 The 19-year-old German Emma Aicher pays 2 “95 and is 22nd, qualification at risk.
10.41 The British Charlie Guest amazes and is seventh at 1 ″ 08!
10.39 Thea Louise Stjernesund disputes a brilliant test and is eighth at 1 “12.
10.37 Good start on the floor, then be careful on the wall. The Austrian Chiara Mair is ninth at 1″55, a good result.
10.36 It will be necessary to wait a few more minutes for the Italians. Curiosity also for the Italian-Albanian Lara Colturi with the n.53.
10.34 Forked for the Norwegian Maria Therese Tviberg. Small interruption, 22 athletes got off.
10.33 The French veteran Nastasia Noens is 17th at 2 ″ 50. A gap that should still be enough for qualification.
10.32 Canadian Amelia Smart is 14th at 1 ″ 85. Clearly now the level drops as the bib number rises.
10.30 The Norwegian Kristin Lysdahl is 16th at 2″60.
10.28 Canadian Laurence St-Germain was skiing well, then slips at the entrance to the wall. She gets up and closes for signature honors at 8″42.
10.27 Camille Rast has changed skis, has yet to find the right feeling. The young Swiss accuses a heavy gap of 2 “22 and is last.
10.26 Martina Dubovska closes at 1 “55, is ninth on a par with Holtmann. Attention now to the rampant Swiss Camille Rast.
10.25 The Czech Dubovska starts with 0.01 advantage in the first intermediate!
10.25 Let’s remember the bibs of the Azzurri: 39 Della Mea, 40 Tschurtschenthaler, 47 Gulli, 48 Rossetti.
10.24 The first 15 have come down. Duerr commands with 0.45 on Swenn Larsson, 0.55 on Shiffrin, 0.57 on Vlhova, 0.61 on Bucik and Holdener, 1.08 on Hector, 1.24 on Popovic, 1.55 on Holtmann, 1.65 on Nullmeyer and Liensberger.
10.23 The Croatian Leona Popovic is eighth at 1 ″ 24.
10.21 Troops 11th at 1 “66: the Austrian has so far never really managed to take off at the highest levels.
10.19 The Norwegian Mina Fuerst Holtmann is eighth at 1 ″ 55, a more than decent performance. Now the Austrian Katharina Truppe and the Croatian Leona Popovic close the first group of 15.
10.18 Excellent performance for the Swedish Anna Swenn Larsson, second at 45 cents from Duerr! Another big surprise! Shiffrin slips into third place, Vlhova in fourth!
10.16 Hector limits the damage and enters sixth position at 1 ″ 08.
10.15 The American Paula Moltzan pays only 22 cents of delay in the second intermediate, then gets on the fork. Now the Swedish Sara Hector, bib n.11. We remind you that the first blue, Lara Della Mea, will start with number 39.
10.14 The first five are enclosed in just 61 cents. Then there is a gap up to sixth position: Nullmeyer and Liensberger are paired well 1″65 from the top.
10.13 The Austrian Katharina Huber is eighth at 1 ″ 90.
10.13 It must be said that Duerr also benefited from an untouched track, having started with bib number 1. The speech for the victory is still very open.
10.12 Canadian Ali Nullmeyer is sixth at 1 ″ 65.
10.12 Visually Duerr had not impressed on the wall, however she was good at ski driving, taking advantage of the large spaces between one pole and another. Tracking her trainer helped.
10.11 At the moment Duerr is in command with 0.55 on Shiffrin, 0.57 on Vlhova and 0.61 on Bucik and Holdener, tied fourth.
10.10 The worst so far Liensberger: closes last at 1 ″ 65. He’s back in condition.
10.09 The Austrian Katharina Liensberger has left.
10.09 ALSO BEHIND MIKAELA SHIFFRIN! Second at 55 cents from Duerr! The German, in all likelihood, should therefore close the first heat in the lead!
10.08 Shiffrin is only one cent behind in the first intermediate, but is ahead by 7 in the second.
10.07 AMAZING SURPRISE! Petra Vlhova is second at a good 57 cents from Duerr! The German on the wall made the difference. We see Mikaela Shiffrin.
10.06 0.03 late for Vlhova in the first intermediate, 0.16 per second!
10.06 Bucik is second at 61 cents from a Duerr who is aiming for the podium. Now it’s getting serious: it’s up to Vlhova, then Shiffrin to follow.
10.05 Bucik pays 0.13 to the second intermediate.
10.04 Gisin also suffers from the change in slope, then leans and falls. First outing today. It’s up to the Slovenian Ana Bucik.
10.03 The Swiss Michelle Gisin left. 13 cents advantage at first detection.
10.02 Holdener holds too much on the wall, does not dare and closes at 61 cents from Duerr.
10.02 Immediately 5 cents ahead for Holdener, which drop to 4 in the second intermediate.
10.01 54 “48 for Lena Duerr, very fast on the floor, but with a few too many scratches on the wall. It’s up to the Swiss Wendy Holdener.
10.01 Very simple first part, the difference will be made on the wall.
10.00 Levi’s slalom has begun! The German Duerr is on the track.
9.59 Lena Duerr at the starting gate. The 2022-2023 Women’s Alpine Ski World Cup is finally starting!
9.57 The second round will instead be designed by Mauro Pini, the Italian coach of Petra Vlhova.
9.56 The first heat was traced by Markus Lenz, technician of Germany. Just the Teutonic Lena Duerr, one of the most eagerly awaited outsiders, will start with bib number 1.
9.55 Lara Colturi will start with bib number 53 in her debut in the World Cup.
9.53 Great curiosity also for thechild prodigy Lara Colturi, born in 2006 who chose Albania. Will the regrets start as early as today?
9.50 We know how the women’s slalom, for the past three decades, has been the weak link in Italian alpine skiing. Today, with humility, the goal must be to qualify one or two blue women for the second heat: it won’t be easy at all starting with very high bibs. We’ll see if the trend can change from here to Milan-Cortina.
9.48 There will be only four blue women in the race. These are the starting bibs: 39 Lara Della Mea, 40, Vera Tschurtschenthaler, 47 Anita Gulli and 48 Marta Rossetti.
9.43 The starting bibs of the first 15:

9.42 Instead, four claims to Levi for Mikaela Shiffrin. However, the American hasn’t won here since 2019 and in 2021 she came second twice behind her great rival Vlhova.
9.41 The Slovak Petra Vlhova, in the recent past, left the crumbs to her opponents in Levi. In Finland she won both slaloms held in both 2020 and 2021. Overall she boasts five successes, including the one from 2017.
9.39 After a long series of cancellations, the women’s Alpine Ski World Cup finally begins. The following races have already been skipped: Soelden giant, the two descents of Cervinia, the parallel of Lech.
9.37 The first heat will start at 10.00, the second at 13.00.
9.36 Hello friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live Live of the Levi women’s slalom, valid for the Alpine Ski World Cup. .
Programme, times, starting bibs and how to follow the day on TV – The presentation of the weekend
Good morning OA Sport friends and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the first slalom in Levi (Finland) valid for the 2022-2023 Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup. On the track called Levi Black, therefore, we will see the rapid gates specialists in action for the first time in this troubled season in terms of the calendar.
The first heat of the race on the snow of Lapland will start at 10.00 Italian time (11.00 local time), while the second heat will start at 13.00. What should we expect from the first slalom of the season? Waiting for the reply tomorrow, in Levi we will understand if the challenge in this discipline will once again be reduced to the duel between Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova.
The two great rivals obviously start with the favors of the forecast, with the Slovak who has even won the last 4 editions held on this slope, but behind them several athletes are looking for some light under the sun, above all Katharina Liensberger, returning from a 2021-2022 that was anything but sparkling and Michael Gisin. They will be four blue at the start: Marta Rossetti, Lara Della Mea, Anita Gulli and Vera Tschurtschenthaler. Will they be able to heat an environment made freezing by polar temperatures (-20°)?
The first run of Levi’s slalom #1 will start at 10.00 Italian time, while the second will start at 13.00. OA Sport offers you the written LIVE LIVE of the day, so you don’t miss even a second of the White Circus show on the Levi Black.
