The beginning of the 2020/2021 season showed the excellent readiness of the Slovak Petra Vlhová, who is the ongoing leader in the overall standing of the World Cup among women. And since the slalom and giant slalom competitions in Jasná will only be followed by stops in Aare, Sweden, and Lenzerheide, Switzerland, the contests on the northern slopes of Chopok can be very helpful in the fight for a large crystal globe.
After the cancellation of the race in St. Moritz, our best skier unexpectedly used the home mountains in Jasná for training. "Conditions in Jasná are excellent. My team kept it as a secret until the last minute that we were returning home for four days. It's a huge boost for me, even if it is only for a few days. I have several days of quality training behind me and tomorrow we will fly to Courchevel," said the 25-year-old Liptov-born competitor.
And in a very busy race calendar, she found time to visit her home in Liptov for a short time and also completed training in Jasná. "The conditions on the slope are already excellent. I can't wait for the moment when I will compete in Jasná again," said Petra Vlhová.
