Here are the intermediate results:
Katharina Liensberger is going for a medal in the World Championship slalom in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. After the first run, the Vorarlberg native is in second place 0.58 seconds behind Switzerland's Camille Rast, who is in the lead. Mikaela Shiffrin was third (USA/+0.72), Wendy Holdener fourth (SUI/+0.80). This was followed by a huge time jump, with Katharina Truppe already 1.60 seconds behind in seventh place. Zrinka Ljutic (CRO/9th), one of the top favorites, was 2.14.
"A successful first run that I can build on. I got into a good rhythm, I hit the exit well from the steep into the flat. I was able to let the skis run and gave it my all again towards the finish. It's great to be able to ski with this crowd. Now it's full attack time," said Liensberger, who opened the race with the number one position. Four years ago in Cortina d'Ampezzo, she raced to the gold medal with bib number one. Katharina Huber shaved 2.94 seconds off her time, Katharina Gallhuber was eliminated.
ÖSV coach with a special combination when setting the course
Truppe explained that she only woke up and found her rhythm after the transition. "It's extremely difficult in this snow, it's become more aggressive, you have to keep the ski on the move. I have to attack, there's only hop or drop for me," said the Carinthian, who had already won team combined bronze.
Austria's technical coach Klaus Mayrhofer came up with something special for the first ten gates. He stuck the combination "hairpin, hairpin, long turn, hairpin", which proved to be a difficult passage for some in the fast-paced run. Not so for Rast. "Apparently the Swiss women have practiced this too," said Truppe. "Camille had a perfect run."
