Alpine Skiing-Dominant Shiffrin Strikes Gold, Ends Medal Drought
Shiffrin's leading time of 47.13 seconds sets her as the favorite to win gold and end her Olympic medal drought at the Milan-Cortina Games.
- Mikaela Shiffrin leads the Olympic slalom after topping the first run on Wednesday at the Milan–Cortina Games and is the firm favourite to end her Olympic medal drought.
- Her season form is strong, with seven World Cup slalom wins, but she failed to medal in six events at the Beijing Olympics, heightening her redemption stakes.
- On Wednesday, Mikaela Shiffrin posted 47.13sec, leading Lena Duerr by 0.82 seconds before the 12:30 GMT second run.
- A gold for Shiffrin would end her Olympic medal drought and be a happy ending for the US ski team, which last won gold with Breezy Johnson.
- Beyond Shiffrin, recent headlines include Petra Vlhova's return from a serious knee injury last week and Lindsey Vonn's horror crash at the Milan–Cortina Games.
