Mikaela Shiffrin earned her 65th World Cup win — and her first of 2020 — by taking a downhill in Bansko, Bulgaria on Friday.
Shiffrin’s second career downhill victory came in by .18 of a second over giant slalom rival Federica Brignone of Italy. Swiss Joana Haehlen was third, .23 behind. Full results are here.
Shiffrin, racing in Bansko for the first time, had not won her previous five races, all in her more favored disciplines of slalom, giant slalom or the combined. Her fourth-place training run on Thursday showed that her first downhill win since December 2017 was possible.
