Eight members of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team descended upon a very wintry Åre, Sweden for the much-anticipated FIS Ski World Cup Finals week after an extremely long winter. The crew will be headlined by Olympic champions Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah), Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) and Lindsey Vonn (Vail, Colo.)

Not only did Shiffrin wrap up her second-straight overall title and her fifth slalom title in six years, as well as grab a third in giant slalom and first in slalom this past weekend in Ofterschwang, Germany, but she did it before she turned 23 years old on March 13th. Her win during Sunday’s slalom brings her to an impressive 42 World Cup wins, which made her the most successful under-23-year-old ski racer in history. Keep an eye on Shiffrin this weekend, as she’ll ski the most pressure-free she has this season, which has included 17 podiums, and 11 World Cup victories in 25 starts, plus Olympic gold and silver medals.

The big story of the week will be Wednesday’s downhill, where Vonn will fight Italy’s fiery Sofia Goggia – who is also a friend of Vonn’s – for the crystal globe. Vonn currently has a record 20 globes among men and women, including four overall titles (2008-10, 2012) and 16 discipline titles (eight downhill, five super-G and three alpine combined). Vonn (406 points) currently sits 23 points behind Goggia (429 points) in the downhill standings. Goggia is looking to bag her first World Cup globe in any discipline. Vonn’s eight globes ties the record for most World Cup victories in a single discipline as Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark won the slalom and giant slalom eight times.

Odds are looking good for Vonn who, coming into Are, has won the last three World Cup downhill races, including the second event in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy and both races in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. In Tuesday’s shortened downhill training run, Alice McKennis (New Castle, Colo.) – who was fifth in the Olympic downhill in PyeongChang, South Korea – set the pace, followed by surprise super-G Olympic champion Ester Ledecka of the Czech Republic. Vonn was fifth fastest but knows where she can find the time. The women will ski another training run on Wednesday morning from the start, prior to their race.

Vonn’s still eyeing Ingemar Stenmark’s World Cup win record of 86 victories. She currently boasts 81 victories and will look to build on that count this week in Stenmark’s home country, likely with him watching and cheering her on. Buckle up for an exciting finale to this Olympic season’s action!

Goldberg Career-Best Super-G At Kvitfjell

Jared Goldberg (Holladay, Utah) picked up a career-best FIS Ski World Cup super-G result Sunday, finishing 16th on the Olympic course in Kvitfjell, Norway.

Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud took the victory ahead of Switzerland’s Beat Feuz in second and Brice Roger of France in third. Jansrud also wrapped up the World Cup super-G title with his victory Sunday.

Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.) was 37th; Andrew Weibrecht (Lake Placid, N.Y.) was 38th, and Ryan Cochran-Siegle (Starksboro, Vt.) was 41st.

Up next, the World Cup finals take place March 12-18 in Are, Sweden.

Bryce Bennett (Squaw Valley, Calif.) finished 15th in Saturday’s FIS Ski World Cup downhill in Kvitfjell, Norway. Jared Goldberg (Holladay, Utah) was 27th and Wiley Maple (Aspen, Colo.) was 42nd.

Germany’s Thomas Dressen continued his late-season surge, with his second World Cup victory. Switzerland’s Beat Feuz was second, followed by Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway in third.

Up next, the men race super-G Sunday in Kvitfjell before heading to Are, Sweden for the World Cup Finals. Andrew Weibrecht (Lake Placid, N.Y.) is currently 25th in the super-G standings heading into Sunday’s event. Only the top 25 in each discipline qualify for the World Cup Finals. Bennett is the only American who has qualified for the downhill at the World Cup Finals.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) won a fifth World Cup slalom title following her 42nd FIS Ski World Cup victory Saturday in Ofterschwang, Germany. Shiffrin now holds the record for the most World Cup victories before the age of 23.

Battling spring snow conditions and light rain, Shiffrin won the first run, then unseat second run leader Wendy Holdener of Switzerland by 0.09-seconds for the victory. Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter rounded out the podium in third.

“It was a really good fight,” said Shiffrin, who celebrates her 23rd birthday March 13. “For Wendy, I knew she had a really good run because I could hear the announcers from the top, but I thought ‘not today Wendy!’”

Saturday’s win was Shiffrin’s 31st World Cup slalom victory, and after wrapping up the overall World Cup title with a third-place finish in Friday’s giant slalom, she now has won the World Cup slalom title five times: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018.

“It was an incredible, incredible weekend for sure,” said Shiffrin, who now heads to the World Cup Finals in Are, Sweden next week. “My biggest challenge this year has not been the Olympics, or the (World Cup) overall or any of that, but getting motivated for these last races.

“I’m in a constant chase of skiing my best and skiing free,” she added. “Hopefully, I’m not going to be feeling a lot of nerves (in Are) because there is not a lot of risk. But still every time I get in the start gate I want to perform at my highest level, and that’s the biggest goal there.”

Up next, the women race downhill at the World Cup Finals in Are March 14, followed by super-G March 15; team event March 16; slalom March 17 and giant slalom March 18.

Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) wrapped up her second overall FIS Ski World Cup title following her third-place finish in Friday’s giant slalom in Ofterschwang, Germany.

Shiffrin came into Friday’s race, her first since winning the gold medal in giant slalom and silver in alpine combined at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, with a 561-point lead over Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener, who finished 14th Friday.

“It’s an incredible moment right now,” Shiffrin said. “After last year when I won the overall, some people were saying it was sort of fake ‘because the other girls weren’t there and there was nobody to challenge her.’ So to have the overall this year locked in already before we go to (World Cup) Finals, it feels like a confirmation for me.”

Shiffrin now carries a 603-point lead into next week’s World Cup Finals in Are, Sweden, and mathematically clinches her second-straight overall World Cup title. Shiffrin can clinch the World Cup slalom title Saturday with a 10th-place or better result in Ofterschwang.

Olympic downhill champion Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway won her first World Cup race Friday, as Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg was second. Rebensburg leads the overall giant slalom standings by 92 points over Tessa Worley of France. Shiffrin is third, 101 points back.

Up next, the women compete in a slalom Saturday in Ofterschwang.

Women's giant slalom

Tommy Ford (Bend, Ore.) posted a career-best World Cup finish in ninth, and Ryan Cochran-Siegle (Starksboro, Vt.) posted a career-best giant slalom result in 10th as the FIS Ski World Cup circuit resumed in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia Saturday.

“It was a fight,” said Ford. “Two big mistakes, one from each run, but the skiing was there. It’s been a battle throughout the season, but I’m glad to have this race today on this kind of snow.”

Ford, who finished 10th in a World Cup giant slalom at Beaver Creek last season, led three U.S. Ski Team athletes into the points as Tim Jitloff (Reno, Nev.) finished 14th. Ted Ligety (Park City, Utah) did not finish the first run.

“That second run, I couldn’t be happier with it,” said Cochran-Siegle, who posted the third fastest second run time on a hard, fast course. “I got to sit down in that (leader’s chair) for a while, which is always fun too.”

“It was cool watching Tommy,” Cochran-Siegle added. “He had that little mistake and I think he could’ve really moved up, but he skied great as well.”

Marcel Hirscher of Austria won the race by a massive 1.66 seconds over Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen. Alexis Pinturault of France was third. Hirscher extended his overall World Cup lead to 249 points over Kristoffersen.

Up next, the men race slalom Sunday in Kranjska Gora.

McKennis Top American in Super-G

Alice McKennis (Glenwood Springs, Colo.) was the only member of the U.S. Ski Team to finish in the points in Saturday’s World Cup super-G, finishing 23rd in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.

Breezy Johnson (Victor, Idaho) finished 34th, Laurenne Ross (Bend, Ore) was 45th and Alice Merryweather (Hingham, Mass.) was 50th. Both Lindsey Vonn (Vail, Colo.) and Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, Colo.) are sitting out this weekend’s events.

Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein won the race, followed by Austria’s Anna Veith in second and Wendy Holdener of Switzerland in third. Shiffrin continues to lead the overall World Cup standings by 611 points over Holdener.

Up next, the women compete in alpine combined Sunday with one run of super-G, followed by one run of slalom.
