Shiffrin Secures Historic 110th Career Victory, Ninth Slalom Globe at World Cup Finals

At the World Cup Finals in Hafjell, Stifel U.S. Ski Team athlete Mikaela Shiffrin delivered yet another historic performance, capturing her 110th career World Cup victory in dominant fashion in the women’s slalom, officially taking home her ninth career slalom FIS Alpine Crystal Globe.

“This is really a symbol of the work my team has done this year, but especially the last three seasons to help me through the injuries that I had and last season specifically,” said Shiffrin. “This was a really big push; there was a big effort from everybody. It’s really just so much work from so many people, and we really did this together.”

With the win, Shiffrin not only extended her all-time record but also capped the most commanding slalom seasons in the history of the sport. She won nine of the 10 slalom races this 2025-26 season, setting a new record for most victories in a single World Cup slalom season.

Teammate Paula Moltzan also capped a standout day and season, finishing fifth in both the race and the overall slalom discipline standings, which marked the best slalom season of her career.

“It was definitely challenging conditions today with two very different course sets,” said Moltzan. “I have a lot to work on in the offseason, but I ended up in the top five. It’s the best slalom rank I’ve ever had, so I’m very happy with that.”

In addition to the race win, Shiffrin was officially presented with her record ninth career slalom Crystal Globe, which she clinched earlier this season–further cementing her legacy as the greatest skiers the sport has ever seen.

The fight for the overall Crystal Globe is not yet decided. Shiffrin holds an 85-point lead over Emma Aicher of Germany, with one giant slalom race remaining to determine the title. This means Shiffrin only has to finish in the top-15 in tomorrow's race to be crowned the Overall World Cup champion for the sixth time, matching the Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria's record. 

“I don't feel secure with it at all, actually,” said Shiffrin. “I think anything can happen in this race, and it's such an honor to be competing against somebody who is showing so much strong skiing in all the disciplines.”

The final women’s giant slalom race kicks off at 4:30 a.m. ET on skiandsnowboard.live.
