2024 - Slalom in Killington - Strong Holden third - Shiffrin wins again "at home"

Contents

Wendy Holdener reaches the podium in the Killington slalom for the first time this winter. Mikaela Shiffrin continues to hoard.

The podium

1. Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) 1:42.02 minutes
2. Petra Vlhova (SVK) +0.33 s
3. Wendy Holdener (SUI) +1.37

The little “knot at the start of the season” has broken for Wendy Holdener. After the mediocre performances in Levi (ranks 12 and 8), the Schwyz native was back among the world’s best in Killington. In fourth place at the half, she overtook the German Lena Dürr with a solid second run and made it to third place.

For Holdener, who celebrated her first World Cup victory in the slalom last year in Killington, it is the 35th slalom podium of her career.

Mikaela Shiffrin once again created an electric atmosphere in the finish area in Killington. In front of her home audience, the American achieved her 6th slalom victory in the US state of Vermont – her 90th World Cup triumph overall.

The leader after the first run was not impressed by another strong performance from her eternal rival Petra Vlhova. As she often does, she turned up the heat in the last few meters and distanced the Slovakian by a good three tenths. In Levi, the two slalom queens shared the victories between themselves.
