Camille Rast Sweeps Kranjska Gora, Snapping Mikaela Shiffrin’s Slalom Streak

The Swiss world champion completed a GS–slalom sweep, sharpening the World Cup fight ahead of Milano Cortina.

Overview

  • Rast edged Shiffrin by 0.14 seconds in Sunday’s slalom after starting the second run with a 0.10-second lead.
  • The slalom win capped Rast’s first career World Cup giant slalom victory the day before on the same Slovenian slope.
  • Shiffrin stays atop both the slalom and overall standings, with Rast moving up to second in each race for the crystal globes.
  • Rast and the Swiss team wore black armbands, and she dedicated the weekend to victims of the Crans-Montana bar fire that killed at least 40 and injured about 119.
  • The head-to-head continues with slaloms in Flachau on Jan. 13 and Spindleruv Mlyn on Jan. 25 before the Milano Cortina Olympics.
