Shiffrin secures first World Cup title of season

After two silver medals in the slalom and giant slalom in Levi and Killington respectively, the American - a three-time world champion in the discipline - made sure to reach the top step of the podium this time around as she sealed a comfortable victory over Petra Vlhova - her 26th career win.

Shiffrin clocked a combined time of 1:40.91 to take the gold medal, having topped the standings after the first run with an opening effort of 49.57 seconds.

Slovakia's Vlhova had sat fifth after the first run, but made it count in the second with a time of 51.53 seconds to secure her second slalom medal of the season having won in Levi.

Austria's Bernadette Schild completed the medals with a total time of 1:43.58, just three hundredths of a second quicker than Switzerland's Denise Feierabend who placed fourth.

Victory sees Shiffrin draw level with Vlhova at the top of the overall discipline standings, with Sweden's Frida Hansdotter - who placed fifth in Killington - in third.

The next slalom World Cup will take place in Courchevel, France, on December 20, before moving onto Lienz, Austria before the New Year.
