Make it 40 World Cup wins for Mikaela Shiffrin. That’s four victories in a row to start 2018. And seven in the last eight World Cup races.

The PyeongChang Winter Games are in one month. Shiffrin is favored for three gold medals.

She won Sunday’s slalom by 1.64 seconds, combining times from two runs, in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.

Full results are here.

Shiffrin led by 1.47 seconds after the opening morning run.

“That was maybe the best run of slalom I have ever done in a race,” Shiffrin said, according to The Associated Press.
