Gürgl Women's World Cup Slalom preview: Who’s Racing, When, and How to Watch

Mikaela Shiffrin crashed during the second run of Saturday's Killington giant slalom. She shared her thoughts from her hospital bed.

The alpine ski racer from the University of Denver, Mia Hunt, has secured victory in a time trial, thereby earning a place on the FIS World Cup circuit. Her debut will be at the Killington World Cup slalom.

With Sweden’s Sara Hector leading and Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic in second, Shiffrin had the chance to deliver a dramatic finale. However, her run came to an abrupt end when she fell on the steep pitch, sliding hard into the safety netting. The crowd fell silent, anxiously awaiting updates. Shiffrin required a rescue sled to reach the bottom and was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Mikaela Shiffrin delivered a masterful run that electrified the crowd. Fans, many eager to see her reach the milestone of 100 career wins, erupted in cheers as she crossed the line 1.83 seconds ahead of Grenier, firmly establishing herself as the leader.

Killington Women's World Cup GS: Who’s Racing, When, and How to Watch. Shiffrin, the all-time winningest World Cup skier with 99 career victories, can secure her 100th win on home soil. To put her record into perspective, she surpassed the legendary Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who held the previous record with 86 wins. A victory at Killington would mark an extraordinary milestone in her career and electrify the crowd in Vermont, where she attended school and has a deep connection to the region.

Dasha Romanov’s journey back to the slopes hits another roadblock. After recovering from a herniated disc, the U.S. skier now faces a concussion and whiplash following a car accident, delaying her highly anticipated comeback.

In 2010, Mikaela Shiffrin was a rising talent few insiders predicted would make history. She had already won the prestigious Trofeo Topolino and the Whistler Cup, but her true potential remained under the radar. By January 2011, whispers of a “ski prodigy” reached Europe. At just 15, Shiffrin had started her NorAm Cup campaign with two victories in December 2010. She finished that season third overall and topped the slalom standings in the continental competition. That breakout year marked the beginning of her extraordinary career.

When FIS announced that athletes could wear sponsors logos on the sides of their helmets, it presented an opportunity for athletes to make more cash and build their visibility through brand ambassador partnerships. Atle Lie McGrath—arguably the most personable and popular young star on the circuit—had his share of offers but wanted a relationship that went beyond a paycheck and a logo. The 24-year-old explains: “I really wanted to be able to represent something that meant something to me that I could be very, very proud to be a part of.”

Mikaela Shiffrin is taking the quest for her 100th career World Cup victory to North America.

The American ski star might even get the one win she needs for the milestone in what is like a home race for her in Killington, Vermont, which hosts a giant slalom and a slalom next weekend.

Camille Rast celebrates a premiere at the first women's World Cup race in Gurgl: The 25-year-old Swiss athlete finished third in the Slalom on Saturday, taking to the podium for the first time in the World Cup. Previously, her best World Cup results have been three fourth place finishes in the Slalom. On Sunday, third place in the men's Slalom in Gurgl went to HEAD Worldcup Rebel Atle Lie McGrath.

Clément Noël skied with confidence and composure to secure his second slalom victory of the season, keeping his perfect record intact. Jakobsen finished second, 0.43 seconds back, while Lie McGrath rounded out the podium in third, just 0.44 seconds behind Noël.

Clément Noël achieves an impressive first run performance in Gürgl. Atle Lie Mcgrath (+0.88) and Steven Amiez (+0.94).

The Men’s Alpine World Cup Slalom returns to Gürgl, Austria, on Nov. 24, where racers will tackle the steep and demanding Kirchenkar slope.

Milestones were celebrated in Gürgl as Shiffrin achieved her 99th win, and Camille Rast and Lara Colturi debuted on the podium.
