It really is stunning. In ski racing terms, this is pure domination. And most of those wins were by tenths of a second. That was a fun season.

I remember watching her first win.

Watching a rerun of today's Hahnenkamm and Porino just mentioned that Jared Goldberg exited the Steilhang at 112 mph yesterday.

Looking at the overall standings... Not to take anything away from Shiffrin and Vlhova, but Gut-Behrami is very much handicapped by FIS's bias towards tech events. (She's got a right to be mad.)

FIS highlight reel. I should mention Breezy Johnson (USA) got a 9th. And I need to read up on Germany's Kira Weidle. She's had a few podiums but no wins yet.

I wasn't able to watch but Shiffrin grabbed 4th which is good for her and the hunt for the overall title. Goggia won and is too good when she's locked in. Stuhec is back in 2nd! The knee must feel good.

Mikaela Shiffrin has another start tomorrow in Cortina which is perhaps the most beautiful venue on the tour. Looks like she's had a 3rd and 7th there previously in DH.

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 81st World Cup race. She's in the zone right now and could tie Vonn's record in the next race. (I do care about other racers, just been a bit busy.)

In the last two days Mikaela Shiffrin has won both giant slalom races at Semmering, Austria.

One thing I've noticed in all of her runs there is that she is putting up some of the fastest times through the first sector...where it is not steep at all, the racer is poling out of the start shack, then carving clean turns as speed builds.

I think this bodes well for her future Super G races.

Beat Feuz to retire after the Hahnenkamm. (For the 3 alpine fans in the Fediverse.)

If Shiffrin holds on, this will be WC win #77, 9 short of Stenmark's record.

Talk about tough. Sofia Goggia breaks her hand halfway down the course. Still finishes 2nd.

After the first slalom run at Killington, Vermont Mikaela Shiffrin is in the lead.

Can she hold that lead in the second run? (Starts in a half hour.)

Six Americans went down the first run. Four DNF. One in 42nd.

But only top 30 pass to the second run.
