Mikaela Shiffrin claimed a record 95th World Cup victory and 150th career podium in Jasna

the American queen of alpine skiing Mikaela Shiffrin claimed a record 95th World Cup victory and registered her 150th career podium after winning the World Cup slalom in Jasna, Slovakia today.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s time was 1:48.21 min (52.91 sec in the first run and 55.30 sec in the second run) and was 14 hundredths of a second ahead of 19-year-old Zrinka Ljutic (Croatia). Mikaela Shiffrin had really nailed the win in the first run, when she had a lead of almost a second. In the second run, the American was extremely cautious and even allowed her lead to drop to 14 hundredths. Her time in the second run alone is only 7th, but that was not a problem, especially since her great rival Petra Vlhova was injured yesterday and is not participating at the moment.

Mikaela Shiffrin‘s 150th podium is tied for 82nd in slalom, one more than the Swedish skiing legend Ingemar Stenmark. The 28-year-old American has 110 career slalom starts, which translates to a 74.5% place on the podium.

Anna Swenn-Larsson (Sweden) came third today, 0.81 sec behind the winner.

In the standings for the World Cup, Mikaela Shiffrin already has 1,209 points, ahead of Petra Vlhova with 802 points and Lara Gut-Behrami (Switzerland) with 789 points. For the small Crystal Globe in slalom, Mikaela Shiffrin leads with 630 points, ahead of Petra Vlhova with 505 points.

Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup moves next weekend to Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) for the downhill and Super-G speed disciplines.
