Mikaela Shiffrin Claims her Fourth Consecutive Win in the Alpine Ski World Cup Slalom this Season

Mikaela Shiffrin secured another dominant victory in the Women's Night Slalom event at the Alpine Ski World Cup in Courchevel. She claimed her 105th World Cup victory, her 68th in Slalom. Shiffrin finished 1.55 seconds ahead of Camille Rast and 1.71 seconds ahead of Emma Aicher.

It's the third time she has won at least the opening four Slalom races of the season, having won the first five in 2018-2019, and the first four in 2016-2017.

The 30-year-old US ski ace has now achieved 93 podium finishes in 122 Slalom races.

"That was a tough second run; it was so quick, and some turns had big tracks, and some were so good. It was a little bit hard to predict where it would be bumpy and where it would be good to fly. Sometimes I had trouble staying on the course, but to stay dynamic worked fine," Shiffrin said.

Camille Rast's two podiums and three other Top-5 finishes in her past six World Cup races signal a return to form, even if she is still battling with a pre-season injury that has been hampering her. Although she made two mistakes in her second run, she was able to defend her second position from the first run.

"When something like this happens, we always keep pushing, and I want to fight till the end. I don’t like to give up, I never give up, and that’s why I keep pushing, and when I saw the green light at the finishing line, I was really so happy because after the big mistake I was thinking everything was over," Rast said.

Emma Aicher celebrated her third podium finish of the 2025-2026 winter season. Just three days after her sensational downhill victory in St. Moritz, Aicher once again raced onto the podium, this time in the Slalom.

The 22-year-old German skier is the only skier in the World Cup to compete in all disciplines. Her six World Cup podium finishes, all achieved in 2025, are spread across Downhill, Super-G, and Slalom.

"I'm very proud that I managed to do that. Skiing is going in the right direction right now, I'm simply happy with it," Aicher said.
