The big surprise of the evening came when Switzerland's Marco Odermatt crossed the finish without the lead. Notably, Odermatt has won all the GS races this season. Although he was fast in the first and last sectors, the superstar finds himself the 11th fastest (+0.98) behind Austrian star Manuel Feller. It will take an Odermatt miracle to find his way to the podium but Odermatt miracles are ordinary. It is likely, however, that the fatigue of the recent speed event demands could have negatively affected his performance. He might be human, after all.

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.

The racers, schedule, and how to watch the Women’s Lienz World Cup GS on December

The women's last first run of 2023 was spectacular. The current World Cup discipline leader, Mikaela Shiffrin skied as she has for most of the year, which is inspirational. Although her lifelong rival, Slovakia's Petra Vlhová, skied brilliantly, she could not execute through the most challenging hairpin with the skill of the world's best. Stifel US Ski Team's Shiffrin will ski last again on the second run and poetically close out 2023. Although Shiffrin was only (-0.17) faster than Vlhová, the Slovakian finished the first run (-1.06) faster than third-place Austrian Katharina Liensberger.
