Slovak alpine skier Petra Vlhová was a runner-up to American Mikaela Shiffrin in a World Cup slalom race in Lienz, Austria on Sunday. Vlhová finished 0.61 seconds behind Shiffrin. Meanwhile, Swiss Michelle Gisin took the third place (1.72 seconds behind the winner) in the slalom. "It's very difficult to compete with Mikaela, she was perfect in both rounds. She's the best. Second place is good, but I wanted to win. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with my performance," said Vlhová. The Slovak is now third in the overall World Cup standings and second in the slalom. Shiffrin rules both in the World Cup and in the slalom.
