Mikaela Shiffrin maintained her 'high level' as she won the Flachau slalom

Overview

  • Shiffrin set the pace with the fastest first run and won by 0.41 seconds over Paula Moltzan for her sixth slalom victory in seven starts this season.
  • The win was her 107th World Cup triumph, her 70th in slalom, and her sixth on the Flachau course.
  • Moltzan extended a strong podium streak as she pursues a first World Cup win after multiple second- and third-place finishes.
  • Austria’s Katharina Truppe finished third, 0.65 seconds back, holding the position from the opening run.
  • With one slalom left before the Milano Cortina Games, Shiffrin can clinch the slalom globe only if she wins and Camille Rast finishes outside the top 14, after Rast lost ground in Flachau.
