Mikaela Shiffrin, after her slalom dominance was wrested away in 2020, notched her first victory in her trademark discipline in more than a year on Tuesday.
Shiffrin prevailed by .19 of a second over Austrian Katharina Liensberger under the lights in Flachau, Austria. Swiss Wendy Holdener was third, followed by Slovakian Petra Vlhova, the world’s top slalom skier last year.
It marked Shiffrin’s 68th World Cup win, breaking a tie with Austrian Marcel Hirscher for third on the career list behind Swede Ingemar Stenmark (86) and Lindsey Vonn (82).
