The triumph over Rettenbach is special for the American, who also signs a special record. Will it be a challenge for the coppone against the Ticino player? "In October they are not all at their best yet, but how nice it is to start like this".

The 70th in the World Cup, the 13th in the giant, second in Soelden where he hadn't rejoiced in the opening for 7 years and ... other records. What a departure for Mikaela Shiffrin, who immediately sends a signal from Rettenbach with a view to the general World Cup, as does Lara Gut-Behrami herself who gave life, in this first giant of the 2021/22 season, to a dream duel with the US.
With today's one, Mikaela has achieved at least one victory in ten consecutive years in the top circuit, on a par with Anja Paerson and with only Vreni Schneider and Renate Goetschl (11 years each) who have been able to do better. And as colleague Massimiliano Ambesi recalls, the 26-year-old from Eagle also becomes the first athlete ever to conquer at least one giant for six seasons in series. “A really great start - said Shiffrin after the race, to Giulia Candiago's FIS microphones - I am super happy, today it was a pleasure to ski in these conditions, the track was prepared in an exceptional way.
Thanks Soelden and ... I'm back to win here after many years, it's true, but October is early for many athletes and the season has just begun. Here I learned from negative and positive situations, today is certainly a good day for the sensations experienced on the track and ... for the result ”.
