US EditionMikaela Shiffrin powers through tricky course to win the slalom at the World Cup finals (copy)
- On Thursday, 30-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin, an American ski racing standout, won the women's slalom at the World Cup finals in Sun Valley, Idaho, with a combined time of 1 minute, 45.92 seconds, marking her 101st career World Cup race victory and closing out the World Cup slalom season with a win.
- Shiffrin's victory came after an injury-marred season, including a late November giant slalom crash in Killington, Vermont, that resulted in a deep puncture wound and emotional trauma, causing her to miss four slalom races and finishing fourth overall in the slalom standings.
- Shiffrin, who was the first-run leader, navigated a bumpy course cheered on by a large crowd, beating Lena Duerr of Germany by 1.13 seconds, with Andreja Slokar of Slovenia finishing third.
- Acknowledging the challenging conditions, Shiffrin stated, "There were big tracks and a little bit wild rides sometimes, but I felt connected with the snow," also expressing excitement for future adventures.
- While Shiffrin won the race, Zrinka Ljutic, a 21-year-old Croatian ski racer and last season's 'rising star' award recipient, finished tenth but captured the season-long slalom title, preventing Shiffrin from winning her ninth slalom title.
