"Mikaela Shiffrin isn't just winning every slalom of the Olympic season. She's dominating each race and winning by large margins, too. The American skiing standout claimed a record-extending 105th World Cup victory after several of her top challengers went out during the opening run of a night race Tuesday. Shiffrin added to her first-run lead and finished 1.55 seconds ahead of Swiss skier Camille Rast and 1.71 ahead of German racer Emma Aicher."
"Shiffrin has now won the opening four slaloms of the season and five straight including the final race of last season. All of her margins of victory this season have topped a full second and three of them more than 1.5 seconds: 1.66 in Levi, Finland; 1.23 in Gurgl, Austria; and 1.57 in Copper Mountain, Colorado before her latest performance in the French Alps."
