The 26-year-old Italian, who won joint gold in the parallel slalom at the last worlds in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 2021, timed 1min 28.06sec down the Roc de Fer piste in Meribel.

Shiffrin made up for skiing out of the alpine combined on the cusp of bagging gold with a second-placed finish just 0.11 seconds behind.

Bronze was shared by Austria's Cornelia Huetter and Kajsa Vickhoff Lie of Norway, both at 0.33sec.
