In Levi, Finland, Mikaela Shiffrin opened the Olympic slalom season with authority, winning a World Cup by 1.66 seconds for her record-extending 102nd career victory. The American led by more than a second after the first run, clocked the fastest time again, and said she focused on pushing rather than protecting. Albania’s Lara Colturi, who turned 19, matched her career-best in second, and Germany’s Emma Aicher earned her first tech podium in third. Paula Moltzan charged from 19th to a shared fourth, moving Shiffrin and Moltzan to 1-2 in the overall standings.
