Shiffrin sizzles
Print Edition
AMERICAN star Mikaela Shiffrin didn’t let skiing over a broken gate in the opening run prevent her from winning the slalom in Maribor, Slovenia, yesterday, her fifth success in the discipline this season. Shiffrin bagged her 27th World Cup race and 24th slalom win as she timed an overall 1 minute, 39.61 seconds to see off Swiss rival Wendy Holdener by .19 seconds and Swede Frida Hansdotter at .32. The 21-year-old from Colorado, who also won a pair of giant slaloms last month at Semmering, briefly lost the lead after her near mishap with the gate as it rolled down the piste. But she managed to gain enough time on a searing bottom section showing to recoup her advantage and take the win. Shiffrin is looking good to land the season crystal globe on that ambition as she now leads Swiss holder Lara Gut by 305 points.
