Mikaela Shiffrin wins home slalom at Killington

Mikaela Shiffrin Killington slalom run 1

 

American technical ace Mikaela Shiffrin held off second run attacks by tour veteran Veronika Velez Zuzulova of Slovakia and Swiss Wendy Holdener to claim victory in the Killington World Cup slalom in front of her home crowd. In her 22nd career World Cup win, Shiffrin built on her morning lead to create a 0.73 second margin of victory. 

 

Shiffrin, whose hometown is Vail, Colo., graduated from high school in the state of Vermont approximately two hours from Killington. 

 

 "I put a lot of pressure on myself,” Shiffrin said. “Knowing that I’ve been performing so well in slalom, I really had a great chance of winning the slalom here. And I actually really wanted to win the GS as well, but I didn’t put winning GS skiing out there.”

 

Large crowds were entertained at the Eastern U.S. resort by the local favorite.  

 

“It’s amazing. It was like 16,000 yesterday and I don’t how many there are today, but it’s full and that’s so cool," Shiffrin said.

 

The rest of the podium had positive things to say about both the venue and the future of ladies' slalom skiing this season.

 

“It was a really nice race,” Velez Zuzulova said. “Usually we are racing in Aspen and I can say that the crowd is never like this, so it was a really nice experience to race here.”

 

“I think we get a step closer than last year,” Holdener said of the winning leads Shiffrin has become known for in slalom. “Still she [Shiffrin] is dominant and I think the other girls and I are on the right way to get closer and closer. I think it will get thrilling this season.”
