Mikaela Shiffrin scored her historic 100th Alpine Skiing World Cup victory, returning to action in January 2025 after two months away due to a serious injury. The two-time Olympic champion won the slalom in Sestriere, Italy.
The American finished 0.61 seconds ahead of Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic, who took second place.
For reference
During a giant slalom competition in Killington, Vermont, USA, in November 2024, the athlete fell and sustained a stab wound to the abdomen.
Considered one of the greatest record holders in the 58-year history of the World Cup, Shiffrin returned to racing in late January and won a record 15th medal at the World Championships in Saalbach earlier this February.
