The race of his life! Romane Miradoli will never forget this March 5, 2022. The 27-year-old Frenchwoman ended 18 years of World Cup drought for tricolor women’s skiing in Super-G since Carole Montillet in 2004. An incredible feat for a skier who was not yet on a World Cup podium! In the race for the big crystal globe, Mikaela Shiffrin, second, managed a magnificent operation compared to Petra Vlhova, only seventeenth. But the heroine of the day is indeed called Romane Miradoli, congratulated in the finish area by Roger Federer, who came as a neighbor.

Vlhova out of the shot
The native of Bonneville signed an astonishing victory, on a Super-G with an ultra-physically demanding course that she was the only one to master from start to finish. Leaving with bib number 8, the Frenchwoman had benefited from the advice of her compatriot Tessa Worley, who had set the first reference time. The Grand-Bornand champion finally signed a nice sixth place. While Laura Gauché also invited herself to the party by interfering in the Top 10, in ninth place.
If Mikaela Schiffrin finished second at 0.38, the other gaps are huge: the third, Lara Gut-Behrami, finished at 0.88. The leader of the specialty classification, Federica Brignone, was in ninth place, 2’20 behind. The Italian will make fun of this abyss since she has secured the globe of the specialty today, her competitor Elena Curtoni being at fault.
In the race for the big crystal globe, Mikaela Shiffrin was able to bounce back after her setbacks in Beijing. The American, second, took advantage of Petra Vlhova’s failed race to take some distance from her rival.
