“Dominant" was the word that Tiger Shaw, the president and CEO of U.S. Ski and Snowboard, used to describe Shiffrin's performance. “Look at how fast she was in the super-G and then acing the slalom as usual,” Shaw said. Super-G leader Federica Brignone lost her grip and fell at the third gate of the slalom. Two-time defending world champion Wendy Holdener also failed to finish the second leg. Likewise in the men’s race, 2017 world champion Luca Aerni was among those who failed to finish the slalom leg. Austria’s Marco Schwarz narrowly edged Alexis Pinturault for gold while Loic Meillard took bronze despite finishing more than a second out.
