United States’ Mikaela Shiffrin speeds down the course during an alpine ski, women’s World Cup slalom, in Are, Sweden, Sunday, March 10, 2024. ARE, Sweden — All Mikaela Shiffrin has been really looking for in her first race back after a six-week injury layoff was “good skiing.”Shiffrin made a triumphant comeback to the World Cup Sunday, dominating the season’s penultimate slalom for career win 96 and locking up her record-equaling eighth season title in the discipline.
Shiffrin got much more than that. While she just edged out her competitors in the opening leg, she crushed the field in a free-flowing second run. The American, who turns 29 on Wednesday, was among a slew of World Cup, Olympic and world champions to crash hard in a packed January program, including her partner Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.
The German skier had to win both Sunday’s race and the season-ending slalom at the World Cup finals in Austria next weekend to stay in contention, but finished fourth, 1.35 behind Shiffrin. The slalom makes up half of the American’s collection of 16 career globes, alongside her five overall championships, one super-G and two GS titles.Mikaela Shiffrin wins last World Cup ski race of 2023 by huge margin of 2.34 seconds for 93rd career win
Shiffrin had already made a winning return from an extensive mid-season break to nurse a knee injury. She didn’t race for nine weeks after getting hurt in December 2015, but won her comeback race at a slalom in Crans-Montana, Switzerland in February 2016.
