I will fight for the earliest possible comeback.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Competing in her home country of Slovakia, Vlhova encountered difficulty around the ninth gate of her first run, leading to a slip and subsequent fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following her fall, Petra Vlhova&#8217;s momentum carried her sideways towards the fencing on the side of the course. After coming to a stop, she managed to sit up slightly on her side before receiving assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subsequently, Vlhova was transported off the hill in a sled, acknowledging spectators with a wave as she passed near the finish area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 28 years old, Vlhova, with 31 World Cup race wins, had been a prominent figure in slalom racing, sharing the slalom supremacy with Mikaela Shiffrin over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same event, Olympic giant slalom gold medalist Sara Hector of Sweden emerged victorious in the two-run race, surpassing Shiffrin by 1.52 seconds. This marked the largest margin of victory in women&#8217;s giant slalom since February 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shiffrin secured her 149th career World Cup podium, bringing her within six podium finishes of the record held by Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark, a prominent figure in the 1970s and &#8217;80s. In the previous season, Shiffrin surpassed Stenmark&#8217;s career World Cup wins record of 86, now boasting a total of 94 victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, the women are set to compete in a slalom event in Jasna on Sunday, with the coverage available for subscribers on ski and snowboard live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24hscore news Petra Vlhova, the Olympic slalom gold medalist, experienced a season-ending injury with at least one torn ligament in her right knee during a fall in a giant slalom event on Saturday.
