This weekend's World Cup in Åre was a golden opportunity for Petra Vlhova to take the lead in the overall World Cup as Lara Gut-Behrami is not included.

And Vlhova took the opportunity.

On the Swedish snow, Vlhova dominated in the first run, and in the second she defended the position when she finished 20 hundredths ahead of Katharina Liensberger.

Gut-Behrami, who has previously led the overall World Cup, thus slipped to second place, 64 points behind the Slovak.

Favorites Mikaela Shiffrin and Katharina Liensberger did not hold the second run.

Liensberger finished second.

Shiffrin was about to leave but managed to save the situation but it cost her time.

She finished in third place, 64 percent behind.

Fermbäck with the best ride of his career

In a zero-degree Åre, Elsa Fermbäck stood for the strongest Swedish effort when she went out as the first skier in the second run.

And also the strongest effort in his career.

Fermbäck climbed 16 places to the best World Cup result of his career - and finished the day in 14th place.

- It was good, I really wanted to.

Then I had a few misses, but I am really happy with the ride, says Elsa Fermbäck to SVT


Sport after the ride.

For Sara Hector who had a good start in the second run, things unfortunately went worse.

She came halfway when she strayed.

.

- I thought it was a good effort by me.

It's always sour when it's like that, it's the second branch this year, she says.
