Shiffrin dominates first run in Courchevel slalom

SPORTS 16.12.2025

Mikaela Shiffrin posted the fastest time in the first run of the World Cup slalom in Courchevel on Tuesday, a discipline the American has dominated this season.

Text size:

The 30-year-old Shiffrin finished 0.83sec ahead of Swiss Camille Rast with Germany's Lena Duerr third fastest at 1.16sec in the night slalom in the French Alps.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist is bidding for her fifth slalom win in a row, a fourth in as many races this season, and her 105th World Cup victory.

On snow conditions worse than expected and a tricky course, several top contenders were eliminated.

Albanian teenager Lara Colturi, who had finished on the podium in the first three slaloms of the winter, made a mistake and retired, as did Croatian Zrinka Ljutic, the reigning slalom champion, and Austrian Katharina Liensberger.

The second leg gets underway at 1945GMT.
