Mikaela Shiffrin achieved her 156th podium finish at a World Cup race in Sweden, setting an all-time record. Despite leading in the first run of the slalom race, she finished third as Katharina Truppe claimed her first World Cup victory, with Katharina Liensberger in second. Shiffrin expressed pride in her performance as she continues her comeback from a serious crash. This was her fifth slalom race since the incident in November. Truppe, aged 29 like Shiffrin, was emotional about her victory and reflected on her journey to this moment. Shiffrin was aiming to win to keep her hopes alive for her ninth career season-long slalom title. However, with main competitor Petra Vlhova out due to injury, the title race remains open. Shiffrin plans to train in Europe before heading to Sun Valley, Idaho for the season-ending race. Zrinka Ljutic currently leads the slalom standings, with Camille Rast close behind. Liensberger and Holdener are also in contention for the title. Shiffrin looks forward to the challenges of the travel and competing in the final race of the season.
