Mikaela Shiffrin Clinches Eighth World Cup Slalom Title in Triumphant Return

After a six-week recovery from a knee injury, the US ski star dominated her first race back, tying the record for most season titles in a single discipline.

Mikaela Shiffrin made a victorious return from injury, winning the World Cup slalom season title in Åre, Sweden, and tying the record with her eighth title in the discipline.
The win marks Shiffrin's 96th World Cup victory, extending her overall record in the sport.
Shiffrin's triumph came less than two months after a high-speed crash in Italy, from which she has fully recovered.
The victory ties Shiffrin with skiing legends Lindsey Vonn and Ingemar Stenmark for the most season titles in a single discipline.
Shiffrin's boyfriend, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, also a professional skier, is currently recovering from a serious crash, with the couple supporting each other's rehabilitations.
