Mikaela Shiffrin won a women’s World Cup slalom Saturday, securing her 85th career victory and moving within one of the all-time record of 86 wins
at back-to-back giant slaloms in Italy this week and adding a third straight win Saturday.
The American overcame a mistake early in her second run as she posted the fastest times in both legs to beat Germany’s Lena Dürr of Germany by 0.60 seconds. “I knew it would take some risk and there’s a chance that I don’t finish at all, but I have to do my best turns to have a chance because these women are so strong,” said Shiffrin, who raced at the resort near the Czech-Polish border where she had her World Cup debut as a 15-year-old almost 12 years ago.
Swiss skier Wendy Holdener was 1.31 behind in third, followed by Olympic slalom champion Petra Vlhová of Slovakia in fourth and Shiffrin’s American teammate Paula Moltzan in fifth.
