Norway’s slalom hopes run out – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

The women’s slalom season started in Finnish Levi on Saturday. The only Norwegian among the first 30, Mina Fürst Holtmann, pulled out halfway through the race. – She gets a little too eager, unfortunately, says Viaplay’s alpine expert Kjetil André Aamodt. Thus it was the worst imaginable start to the slalom season for Holtmann. It went better for Mikaela Shiffrin. She drove a very strong first lap in the Finnish fog and leads in the first 30 laps. The American is 60 hundredths down on German Lena Duerr in 2nd place and 73 hundredths down on Zrinka Ljutic from Croatia in 3rd place. – It went very well. I am satisfied now. Now it’s about starting with a blank slate in the second round and pressing on, says Shiffrin to Viaplay. There are several Norwegian hopes today, although it will be a surprise if there will be a top position in Bianca Bakke Westhoff (starting number 39), Thea Louise Stjernesund (starting number 46), Kristin Lysdahl (starting number 51) and Andrine Mårstøl (starting number 67). . PS: The race is still ongoing
