Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States completed her exceptional slalom season with a fifth World Cup race win on Saturday.
The Olympic champion was 1.44 seconds faster than any rival in one of the longest women’s slaloms in World Cup history.
“I did a pretty good job the first run I guess so I felt more comfortable the second run, and just trying to hold on to it,” Shiffrin said.
She had a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 4.54 seconds. Frida Hansdotter of Sweden was second and Austria’s Marlies Schild was third, trailing 1.66 behind Shiffrin.
Shiffrin already clinched her second straight World Cup discipline title one week ago when winning a race at Are, Sweden.
