Shiffrin claims Are World Cup slalom victory

SPORTS 15.03.2026

Three-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin secured her 109th World Cup victory after winning the slalom event in Are, Sweden on Sunday.

Text size:

The 31-year-old American, who won slalom gold last month in the Milan-Cortina Games, has been almost unbeatable in the event this season, winning eight out of the nine World Cup races in the discipline.

Having already secured the Crystal Globe in her speciality for the ninth time, Shiffrin is also closing in on a sixth overall World Cup trophy.

Having racked up 1,282 points, she leads German Emma Aicher by 140 points.

Aicher finished second in Sunday's slalom, 0.94sec behind with Switzerland's Wendy Holdener third at exactly one second.

Shiffrin was half a second ahead of Aicher after the first run and could even afford a slight mistake on her second run and still win comfortably.

The World Cup season ends next week in Lillehammer, Norway with four events, giving Aicher hope that she could yet overhaul Shiffrin.
