Shiffrin Wins Record Ninth Slalom to Take 85-Point Lead Into Overall Decider

A top-15 in Wednesday's giant slalom would clinch a sixth overall crown to match Annemarie Moser-Pröll's record.

Overview

  • Shiffrin, racing Tuesday at the World Cup finals in Lillehammer/Hafjell, won the slalom to push her overall lead over Emma Aicher to 85 points.
  • The victory was her record ninth slalom win in 10 starts this season and her 110th World Cup triumph, and she was presented with the slalom crystal globe.
  • She built a 1.10-second first-run cushion on a long 77-gate set and finished 1.32 seconds clear in 2:07.61.
  • The overall title will be decided in Wednesday's giant slalom, where Shiffrin needs a top-15 finish while Aicher must win and hope Shiffrin fails to score.
  • Wendy Holdener placed second by 0.04 over Aicher, which kept 20 points off Aicher's tally as Shiffrin chases a record-tying sixth overall title.
