Overview

  • Switzerland’s Camille Rast beat Mikaela Shiffrin by 0.14 seconds to win Sunday’s slalom, snapping the American’s season-long streak.
  • The result sealed a Kranjska Gora sweep after Rast’s first World Cup giant slalom victory on Saturday.
  • Swiss skiers competed with black armbands, and Rast dedicated Saturday’s win to Crans‑Montana bar‑fire victims reported at about 40 dead and more than 100 injured.
  • Shiffrin remains leader in the slalom and overall standings, now 120 points ahead overall, with Rast second in both as Wendy Holdener placed third in the slalom by 1.83 seconds and Paula Moltzan fourth.
  • In giant slalom, Moltzan finished third as Alice Robinson logged another DNF that hurt her ranking, with the next slalom on Jan. 13 in Flachau and speed races next weekend in Zauchensee.
