Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic has secured the half-time lead in the slalom at Semmering. Can the ÖSV ladies attack again in the second run? We will report live, see ticker below.

Here is the LIVETICKER:

Here are the intermediate results:

Zrinka Ljutic is on course for her maiden victory in the Alpine Ski World Cup in Semmering. In the absence of the two injured dominators Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova, the 20-year-old Croatian completed the course set by her father the fastest in the first run of the slalom on the Magic Mountain and set the fastest time 0.51 seconds ahead of Lena Dürr (GER) and 0.98 ahead of Killington winner Camille Rast (SUI).

In a run characterized by large gaps, two Austrian athletes still have their sights set on the podium in the second run (1.30 pm). Katharina Liensberger finished 1.81 seconds behind Ljutic in seventh place, Katharina Huber was eighth with +1.95 seconds. "The rhythm was a bit lacking," explained Liensberger and promised "full attack. I know that there is still a lot of potential." Katharina Truppe (+2.44) was twelfth.
