Mikaela Shiffrin dominates in World Cup Slalom with her 93rd career victory. She overwhelms her opponents taking a (-2.34) lead over second place Lena Duerr. US now has most women's victories in history, thanks to Shiffrin!
Goodness gracious, Mikaela Shiffrin left the Courchevel night slalom and went to work to improve. She seems to have achieved the impossible; the best got even better. Skiing with bib seven and her US Stifel teammate, Paula Moltzan, in the finish with a significant lead, Shiffrin delivered a run that left no doubt about her dominance. Moltzan was a rocket with a few testing bobbles typical of skiing at the limit, but Shiffrin was faster (-1.14).
When Stifel US Ski Team's Mikaela Shiffrin is at the top of her game, she is nearly impossible to beat. She left the second run start with a (-1.25) advantage and skied powerfully but used a more conservative line. Taking full advantage of the wisdom of a veteran champion.
