After a fourth place from Johnson in the descent, Shiffrin shone in slalom and thus secured the eighth World Cup gold medal of her career. Johnson crowned her appearance with downhill gold and now has the title of the double world champion. Austria can also celebrate: Super-G world champion Stephanie Venier and Katharina Treuppe won the third medal-a silver, but did not secure the podium, since Puchner and Liensberger slipped back to fifth place after third place.
