Who is racing, when and how to watch the Åre Sweden slalom

With five races remaining on the 2023 World Cup calendar, Mikaela Shiffrin has already earned the 2023 season overall, giant slalom and slalom titles. She has won 12 races and five of those are slaloms. Tomorrow it can be assumed that she will be aggressively pursuing her sixth.

However, four women have also won World Cup slaloms this season. Anything is possible and back-to-back victories are difficult to execute.

Notably, both Paula Moltzan and Shiffrin are now among the top seven on the slalom World Cup Start List. Moltzan has earned the distinction for the first time in her career.

Currently, the US women are leading the 2022-23 Nation Cup slalom standings.
