Shiffrin wins by over one second in Sestriere slalom

CzZtmXgWEAAVFv-.jpg:large

 

Another tight ladies' race seemed to be developing during the slalom in Sestriere, Italy, on Sunday, but Mikaela Shiffrin turned on the jets to ultimately claim victory by over one second. After leading the first run by 0.12 seconds over Veronika Velez Zuzulova and 0.30 seconds over Frida Hansdotter, the American focused on having fun in the second run and it paid off with a 1.09 margin of victory over the Slovakian.

 

"It was not perfect, that’s for sure," Shiffrin said of her first run. "I was pretty stiff, so I was a little bit bummed with my skiing. But I have another run, so we’ll see what happens."

 

On the second run, she held nothing back and crossed the finish line with obvious happiness, first punching both fists down and then one across her body with a smile to mark her 23rd career victory and her sixth straight in slalom. 

 

"I took some free runs before second run and tried to find a solid feeling that I could rely on. And then when I went out of the gate second run, I just tried to make speed on every gate and never let up, and that mentality helped me a lot," she reflected. 

 

Wendy Holdener of Switzerland, who sat fifth after first run, fought hard in the second run to move onto the podium in third, 1.21 seconds off the winning pace. Hansdotter finished the day a close fourth, just 0.08 shy of the podium. 

 

“I had some troubles in the course, so I’m happy that I fought for the podium. But I could do it better,” Holdener said as she continues to hunt down her first victory in slalom. 

 

Tour veteran Velez Zuzulova was pleased to finish on the podium after she lost time in the second run, but she has her eyes set on a victory this season. 

 

"Second run I had a really good start, but on the lower part, I think I was too straight and there was a little bit more terrain than I was expecting, so I lost a lot of time," she noted. "I will go back to training and I will push it even harder and ... I will try to catch [Mikaela]. I can't be happy to always be second, so for sure I want more and I will push for that." 

 

The ladies' tour moves onto Val d'Isere, France, for alpine combined, downhill, and super-G next week.

Haha, right :d 
But I must told you that this year is gonna be very very hard to do that.
My best source for skiing change their geo-block stuff and I can't watch it on VLC or any other alone video programme on PC. I can on web using other VPN, that's all. That's why I decided to buy Eurosport Player for 4-month subscribe option. 10 Euros wasn't that expensive for that.

To sum up, I'm here to sometimes talk about events and maybe someday somehow I will upload videos. 

So anyway... IT'S VAL GARDENA TIME!! Wohoo! And I'm so happy that speed events from Lake Louise will be at Santa Caterina! <3 But man...Santa Caterina Super G...I need to see how it looks

    • When it comes to power, confidence and match-winning ability, women's cricket has produced some truly fearless batsmen over the years. These players didn't just score runs - they changed games, calmed crowds and intimidated bowlers. Based on influence, consistency and ability to dominate attacks, here is my 2026 Forum list of the top 7 most dangerous women batsmen in cricket history.   At the top, Meg Lanning stands out for her quiet aggression and leadership. She could control an innings and then suddenly explode. Behind her is Harmanpreet Kaur, known for her raw power and clutch performances, especially in big tournaments.   Ellyse Perry deserves a special mention. Her technique, fitness and ability to increase pace make her lethal in all formats. Smriti Mandhana brings purpose with grandeur - once she gets going, bowlers struggle to find answers.   From a bygone era, Mithali Raj may not have looked aggressive, but her mental strength and ability to bat for long periods make her extremely dangerous. Suzy Bats has become a nightmare for bowlers in ODIs and T20s, as she mixes timing and smart shot selection. The list also includes Deandra Dottin, whose power-hitting can change a match in just a few overs.   What connects all these stars is their fearless mentality. Each has earned the tag of Dangerous Women's Batsman by performing consistently under pressure and against the best bowlers in the world. For fans who love in-depth cricket discussions, statistics and trending topics, Cricbites is becoming a popular platform to explore women's cricket in a fresh and engaging way.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.

    • What is happening in Canada , people leave it  They say life is very expensive , you cant find an appartement , the salary is miserable    is it the multi tax of Trump? 
    • Weightlifting We now have six events per gender with a total of 10 athletes per event.   The Olympic Qualification Rankings will be based on the sum of the total results of five events (three from period 1 and two from period 2). The top 8 will qualify.   The 9th spot will also be based on the OQR, but it will go to the highest ranked athlete from an unrepresented continent.   The 10th spot will be split between the host and universality (3 each per gender). Should the United States qualify normally then their host quota will be reduced, first going to an athlete from an unrepresented continent then to the overall highest ranked athlete.   Additionally, a "Best Lifter" will be awarded which would give the nation the chance to qualify 4 athletes rather than the max of 3.
    • The probability of winning a medal in the men's 500m also seems a bit off   
    • 66% chance for a medal in moguls seems low though...   Men's relay being 5th in short track, and Clarke only having a 0.5% chance at a medal also seem off   Why is ski mountaineering there, we didn't even qualify anyone
