Shiffrin's victory in Finland sets her up to potentially reach 100 wins on home soil later this month.

  • Mikaela Shiffrin secured her 98th career World Cup victory by winning the season's first slalom in Levi, Finland.
  • She finished 0.79 seconds ahead of Austria's Katharina Liensberger, with Germany's Lena Duerr in third place.
  • Shiffrin's main slalom rival, Petra Vlhova, was absent due to recovery from knee surgery, paving the way for Shiffrin's dominance.
  • The American skier has now won a record 61 slalom races and 98 World Cup races overall, the most in skiing history across genders.
  • Shiffrin is expected to compete in Austria next week before potentially reaching her 100th win at Killington, Vermont, where she trained as a teenager.
