American enjoys comfortable margin of victory
30-year-old has three World Cup wins in a row
Mikaela Shiffrin continued her slalom domination with a record-extending 103rd Alpine skiing World Cup win in the Austrian resort of Gurgl on Sunday.
Shiffrin is a big gold medal hope for the US team at February’s Winter Olympics, and the 30-year-old made it two out of two for the season in slalom with another impressively aggressive display. She also won the final slalom of last season, giving her three World Cup victories in a row.
Lara Colturi, the 19-year-old who skis for Albania but is the Italian-born daughter of Italy’s 2002 Olympic Super-G gold medallist Daniela Ceccarelli, finished second with Switzerland’s reigning world champion Camille Rast third.
