Shock in Killington: Shiffrin falls and misses 100th win!

In Killington, the giant slalom for Austria's women turned into a drama! Mikaela Shiffrin, who was in the lead after the first round, fell at an unfortunate time on the last turns. This means that the ski icon must continue to wait for his 100th World Cup victory, a goal that could possibly be achieved in the upcoming slalom on Sunday. However, the Swede Sara Hector secured victory, followed by Zrinka Ljutic from Croatia and the Swiss Camille Rast Today.at reported.

It was a black day for the remaining ÖSV women: Stephanie Brunner, Julia Scheib and Katharina Liensberger were eliminated in the first round. Franziska Gritsch achieved the goal, but was almost five seconds behind and missed qualifying for the second round. Only Ricarda Haaser was able to save herself as the best Austrian in eighth place Laola1 reported. Haaser expressed her disappointment that she lacked the “final cheek” to move further forward in the rankings.

Strong comeback in the final

In comparison, the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami once again showed an impressive performance and secured her second win of the season after already triumphing in Sölden. After an exciting first run in which she was in third place, she improved significantly in the second run and moved ahead of the half-time leader Alice Robinson from New Zealand by 0.62 seconds. Mikaela Shiffrin rounded out the podium, finishing third (+0.81). The best Austrian in this round was Julia Scheib, who placed seventh and was very satisfied with her result. Katharina Liensberger and Franziska Gritsch made clear progress in the final and gained places, while others like Ricarda Haaser fell back significantly.
