Vlhova and Matt, 3rd and 2nd in Levi

Following her good beginning in Sölden (8th place), Petra Vlhova has ended 3rd in Levi and signed her 4th World Cup career podium – Are (1st), Lienz (3rd), Flachau (3rd).

“We talked with my team and decided that I had to go full gas in the second run because my second run was not the best I can do. I’m happy it worked out. The good result in Sölden helped me, it’s good for my head and helps also for slalom.” (fisalpine)

After a great first run (6th), Michael Matt has realized a solid second run and claimed his first World Cup podium, 2nd behind his Austrian teammate Marcel Hirscher and ahead of Manfred Moelgg. His best World Cup result was a 6th place in Naeba last year.
