"Mikaela Shiffrin completed another dominant night in Flachau on Tuesday, winning a World Cup slalom to extend her season-long stranglehold on the discipline while leading an American one-two finish with teammate Paula Moltzan. Shiffrin followed up her fastest opening run with a composed second run to finish 0.41sec clear of Moltzan, claiming her sixth victory in seven slalom races this season."
"It was also Shiffrin's record-extending 107th career World Cup win, her 70th in slalom and her sixth slalom victory on the demanding Flachau course. Moltzan, who was chasing her first career World Cup win, delivered a strong second run to secure second place, marking another podium in a season that has seen her establish herself among the world's most consistent technical skiers."
