The woman of the records has struck again: make 61th success in World Cup races, 50th slalom podium and victory n ° 41 in "her" specialty.
A number, this last one, significant since only Ingemar Stenmark had reached 40 and, with the triumph in the first seasonal slalom staged in Levi, Mikaela Shiffrin has also taken off the star of Tarnaby.
The 24 year old from Eagle, for the fourth time triumphant on the "Levi Black", has trimmed "monstre" gaps to all, with Wendy Holdener second at 1 "78 and Katharina Truppe third at 1" 94; of course, she left the scene that preceded her by 13 cents after the first battle, but even for Petra Vlhova it would have been very hard to stay in front of a Shiffrin who, in one fell swoop, also puts the "defeat" behind her (much in quotes) of Soelden, when she was mocked for 6 cents by Alice Robinson.
"I didn't think about the Stenmark record - Mikaela smiled in the post race - I tried to push and ski well in the second, after a not perfect opening race. It was not easy, the first race is always particular, but I am happy with the feeling found also with the materials ".
Flying to Finland directly from Copper Mountain, where she worked for two good weeks focusing mainly on speed, Mikaela will now have to cross the ocean again and get rid of the jet lag (which she suffered a little on the eve of Levi's slalom) , to present yourself at the top in the weekend of "home" in Killington.
"There is always a special atmosphere and a large audience, we will try to do the best possible".
That is, winning.
