Key Points:
- Mikaela Shiffrin secured her 110th World Cup win and a record ninth slalom victory in a single season by dominating the World Cup Finals slalom in Hafjell, Norway, moving her closer to a sixth overall World Cup title.
- Shiffrin now leads German Emma Aicher by 85 points heading into the final giant slalom race of the season, where she can clinch the overall title by finishing in the top 15 or if Aicher does not win.
- This season marks Shiffrin’s ninth win in 10 World Cup slaloms, breaking the previous record for most slalom wins in one season, and she is on track to tie Annemarie Moser-Pröll’s record of six overall World Cup titles.
- Aicher, who has been strong since the Olympic break and competes at an elite level in all four disciplines, remains Shiffrin’s closest competitor but has yet to win a giant slalom race this season.
- Shiffrin credited her recent success to the support of her team and overcoming injuries that had previously hindered her chances at overall titles in 2024 and 2025.
