Mikaela Shiffrin finished third in a World Cup slalom race, setting an all-time record with her 156th podium finish. She lost the lead in the second run, with Katharina Truppe winning her first World Cup race. Shiffrin took the all-time wins record from Ingemar Stenmark with 100 victories. Truppe, aged 29, had a surprising victory and will look to build on her success. Shiffrin, also 29, is working on a comeback from a serious crash and missed races due to injury. With Petra Vlhova out for the season, the door is open for a new World Cup slalom champion. Shiffrin is preparing for the season-ending race in Sun Valley, Idaho, where she will look to remain in contention for a ninth career season-long slalom title. Contenders like Zrinka Ljutic and Camille Rast, the world championships gold medalist, are also aiming for success. Shiffrin plans to train in Europe before heading to the United States for the final race of the season, acknowledging the challenges that come with the long journey. She is looking forward to the race and the opportunity to continue her successful skiing career.
