Overview

• American skier Mikaela Shiffrin won her 89th World Cup victory in a women's slalom event in Levi, Finland, extending her record.
• Shiffrin's win came despite a bruised bone in her left knee from a training crash 11 days prior, which had limited her time on snow.
• The victory was somewhat bittersweet for Shiffrin, as her long-term rival, Petra Vlhova, who had been leading the race, straddled a gate and did not finish her final run.
• Shiffrin finished 0.18 seconds ahead of Leona Popovic of Croatia, who came second, and 0.30 seconds ahead of third-placed Lena Duerr of Germany.
• This win marks Shiffrin's record seventh win in Levi, earning her a seventh reindeer, a traditional prize given after the race in Finnish Lapland.
