Shiffrin wins, Hansdotter takes World Cup slalom title (Reuters)

(Reuters) – Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States took a dominant World Cup slalom victory in the Slovakian resort of Jasna on Sunday while Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter sealed the World Cup title in the discipline with a race to spare. Switzerland’s Lara Gut failed to finish the first run and will have to wait until Monday, when there is a giant slalom postponed from Saturday, to overtake Lindsey Vonn and lead the overall World Cup standings. American Vonn has been forced to end her season after injuring her knee but is still 28 points ahead of Gut.
