-

American Mikaela Shiffrin has picked up her first win of the season in convincing style, winning both runs of the World Cup women’s slalom Sunday in Killington, Vt. Shiffrin, who won the slalom at Killington last year, finished with a combined two-run time of 1 minute, 40.91 seconds. She was 1.64 seconds ahead of runner-up Petra Vlhova, a Slovakian who won the last two World Cup slaloms. Shiffrin was the runner-up in Saturday’s giant slalom and now leads the World Cup overall standings with 305 points. The win was the 26th World Cup slalom victory for Shiffrin, who is third all time. At 22, she has won 32 races in all discipline­s.
