She has 1345 points right now as Vlhova is in second with 1189. Moreover, there is a gap of 156 points between the two athletes. Mathematically, Vlhova can take the lead with three more events to go. With the slalom and giant slalom competitions coming in, these would be in favor of the Olympic gold medalist who had a sensational Olympics. But, the setback she faced during this event can help her close the Alpine skiing title in the next round.
