Who would have ever thought that? Petra Vlhova dismantles Mikaela Shiffrin in slalom. This happened most recently in Zagreb (Kro), where the Slovakian took 1.31 seconds from the US star. The even bigger bomb detonated Vlhova’s Italian coach Livio Magoni. The latter openly admitted to filming Shiffrin during their training. This is nothing unusual at first, as the athletes often train on the same slopes. The best Swiss slalom rider, Wendy Holdener, says: «We have already filmed Shiffrin. And I know that others filmed me. That is standard, quite normal. »

And yet in the case of Vlhova the matter goes one step further. Because: It is known that Shiffrin does not want to have much contact with other drivers during training, often she trains in isolation. And what does Magoni do? According to the “Ski Racing” portal, he apparently deliberately hires people from his team to track down the three-time overall World Cup winner. “I know that’s actually not okay,” he says. For him it was only logical. After all, he wanted to learn from the best – and that was Shiffrin.

«What I do is my intellectual property»
Many media talk about espionage. Holdener does not use this word. But considering that Magoni also has the whole crew film Shiffrins to study their processes, she says: «That is already strub. Actually crazy. »Means: That goes too far. Shiffrin himself sees it similarly. «I see what I do on my skis as my intellectual property. It is something that I created with my team. ”But she knew that skiing could not be compared to other (team) sports.

How long does the Zoff between the ski queens go on? Shiffrin said last: “If we were not competitors, we would be good friends.” Interpretation open. The fact is: Shiffrin waives the departure from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee (Ö), she prefers to train and only starts in the station wagon on Sunday. Even though the weather forecasts are good. The “swatter” from Zagreb has probably left its mark.
