Shiffrin i solid ledelse – Fürst Holtmann langt bak
Amerikanske Mikaela Shiffrin kjørte inn til solid ledelse i førsteomgangen i slalåm i Cortina, 82 hundredeler foran tyske Lena Duerr.
– Viser jo hva det bor i den løperen her da, sier ekspertkommentator Lars Elton Myhre.
Shiffrin har vunnet syv av åtte verdenscuprenn i slalåm denne sesongen.
Svenske Cornelia Öhlund ligger på tredjeplass, ett sekund bak Shiffrin.
Norges antatt beste Mina Fürst Holtmann kjørte inn 2.33 sekunder bak Shiffrin.
– Det er ikke noe optimalt treff, men absolutt en OK runde ved sett sesongen under ett for Mina, sier Myhre.
Bianca Bakke-Westmann lyktes heller ikke, og kom inn 2.86 sekunder bak Shiffrin.
Førsteomgangen er ikke ferdig. Norges siste utøver er Thea Louise Stjernesund, på startnummer 53.

Arsenal Probe Warm-up Injuries
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed the club is reviewing their warm-up procedures following an unusual pattern of injuries. The Gunners have now experienced four separate cases where players have been withdrawn before kick-off this season, including Riccardo Calafiori twice, William Saliba, and Bukayo Saka.
Arteta described the situation as 'very unusual,' noting that similar incidents 'probably happened once or twice in six years' he has been at the club. The most recent case forced changes to the team's lineup with Myles Lewis-Skelly moving to left-back and Saka starting in midfield against Wigan.
