CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — If Petra Vlhova wins a medal at the world Alpine skiing championships, she’ll be more than happy to add it her collection.
If not, she’ll move on to her bigger goal this season: winning the overall World Cup title.
The 25-year-old Vlhova holds a slim lead over Lara Gut-Behrami in the overall standings entering worlds as she attempts to become the first Slovakian skier — man or woman — to claim the large crystal globe.
“The world championships are not the priority for us,” said Livio Magoni, Vlhova’s coach.
