Linus Strasser is on a roll. He won his first World Cup of the season in Kitzbühel on Sunday, and on Wednesday night, he did it again in Schladming. He increased his advantage to (-0.28) during the second run. There are no bigger races in slalom skiing than those two. No matter what the rest of the season brings, he will consider 2024 his most successful. There are six slaloms left in the season, but it is clear there is a battle brewing for the title.
After the first seven racers completed their first runs, it was apparent that Germany's Linus Strasser had the hot hand in men's slalom. Strasser won the night slalom in 2022 and his third World Cup slalom on Sunday in Kitzbühel. Will his efforts tonight bring him his fourth? He has a (-0.10) advantage over Norway's Timon Haugan.
Stifel US Ski Team's Mikaela Shiffrin wins her 95th World Cup in the Jasná slalom. She is simply the best and has now accumulated 630 World Cup Slalom points this season. Now that Vlhová is out for the rest of the season, her lead over the next-best active skier is 228 points. It is her fifth slalom victory of the season. The woman has a fantastic feeling for winning; today, she used her first run advantage to perfection.
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!
Marco Schwarz took possession of the leader's throne. Cleent Noel took 2nd place and Dave Ryding earned 3rd place. Check out more deatils on the Madonna di Campiglio race.
