Mikaela Shiffrin's Slalom Domination Reaching New Heights During the Olympic Season

  • On Tuesday in Courchevel, Mikaela Shiffrin led the opening run of the World Cup night slalom, standing 0.83 seconds ahead of Camille Rast and 1.16 ahead of Lena Duerr.
  • Errors by key starters like Katharina Liensberger unfolded when defending World Cup slalom champion Zrinka Ljutic and Olympic silver medalist Katharina Liensberger went out midway down their runs, and Lara Colturi straddled a gate late in her run.
  • Wendy Holdener suffered a hard fall at the finish, hitting a hole that flipped her onto her back; after grimacing in pain she got up and walked away, with injury status unclear.
  • Shiffrin's winning streak continued as she has won the opening three slaloms and four straight overall, while Colturi's gate straddle ended her run of three consecutive podiums.
  • Vonn will be back in action this weekend for a downhill and a super-G in Val d'Isere, and women’s alpine skiing at the Feb. 6-22 Milan Cortina Winter Games will be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
