Shiffrin carved her way to the finish with the fastest combined time in both runs, showcasing her technical mastery and competitive spirit in one of the most decisive races of the season.
This victory was especially significant because it clinched Shiffrin her ninth season slalom title, a record that further cements her status as one of the greatest alpine skiers in history. With this win, she also extended her all-time World Cup victory count to an impressive 108, a mark that places her well ahead of her peers.
Shiffrin’s performance in Czechia was nothing short of dominant. She posted the fastest time in both heats, leaving competitors trailing as she demonstrated the kind of precision and control that have defined her career. In reflecting on the race, Shiffrin described the win as meaningful beyond the results, saying it represented “hope and new beginnings” for her as she continues to prepare for the upcoming Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
This win also came just a day after Shiffrin marked another milestone by returning to the podium in giant slalom, her first such finish in that discipline in over two years. That momentum carried into her slalom success and highlighted her resilience and versatility as a technical skier.
As the Olympics draw near, Shiffrin’s latest victory sends a clear message to the skiing world: she remains a formidable force on the slopes, capable of both record-breaking performances and inspirational moments. Fans and competitors alike will now watch closely as she moves toward what could be another historic showing at the Winter Games.
