Mikaela Shiffrin, Sixth World Cup: The Queen of Alpine Skiing Equals a Historic Record
Mikaela Shiffrin has once again etched her name into the history of alpine skiing, securing her sixth overall World Cup title in the final giant slalom race of the season, held in Norway. With this victory, Shiffrin equals the legendary record of successes set in the 1970s by Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll. This extraordinary achievement caps off an exceptional season for the American skier, who had previously claimed her third Olympic gold by dominating the slalom event at the Milano Cortina Games.
Race Victory and Other Protagonists
The final giant slalom saw the Canadian Valerie Grenier triumph, sharing the podium with Norway's Mina Fuerst Holtmann and Austria's Julia Scheib, who was already the discipline's crystal globe winner. Mikaela Shiffrin, despite an uncertain start that placed her 17th in the first run, managed to climb back to eleventh position. This finish was more than enough to secure her lead in the overall standings, surpassing Germany's Emma Aicher, who had harbored hopes of a sensational upset.
Among the top ten, the young South Tyrolean Anna Trocker once again stood out, finishing in eighth place. This excellent result confirms her remarkable abilities, already demonstrated by winning the Junior World Championship title in both giant slalom and special slalom. The other Italian athletes placed further back: Goggia finished among the top twenty, while Zenere, Della Mea, and Pirovano were further behind.
