Swiss skier Michelle Gisin ends Mikaela Shiffrin-Petra Vlhova winning slalom streak
SEMMERING, Austria Michelle Gisin earned her maiden World Cup win on Tuesday, becoming the first Swiss skier to win a women s slalom in nearly 19 years.
Gisin trailed Mikaela Shiffrin by two-hundredths of a second after the opening run but posted the second-fastest time in the final as the American dropped to third, 0.57 behind.
Gisin s win ended a streak of 28 slaloms that were won by either Shiffrin, who triumphed 19 times, or Petra Vlhova. That streak started in January 2017. I broke the incredible run of two giants, Gisin said. It s a perfect day.
