World Championship Slalom in Saalbach
Missed the sole record! Shiffrin comes away empty-handed
Mikaela Shiffrin came away empty-handed in fifth place in the World Championship slalom in Saalbach. With her 16th World Championship medal, the 29-year-old would have set a new, sole record.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In the end, Shiffrin was just five hundredths short of bronze medal winner Katharina Liensberger. Gold went to Switzerland's Camille Rast, while silver went to her compatriot Wendy Holdener. This was the first time since Garmisch 2011 that there was a World Championship slalom podium without Shiffrin.
Shiffrin must therefore continue to share the throne: The US American is tied at the top with Christl Cranz, the exceptional German skier of the 1930s. Cranz also won 15 medals at the World Ski Championships.
Gold in the combined
Shiffrin suffered bruising and a deep wound to her stomach in a fall in the Killington slalom at the beginning of December. She subsequently underwent surgery and only made her comeback shortly before the World Championships in Courchevel, where she finished tenth.
However, Shiffrin is not leaving Saalbach empty-handed: The ski queen won gold in the combined with downhill world champion Breezy Johnson last Tuesday.
