Killington Cup results





KILLINGTON, Vt.
– Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in eastern North America, hosted the women’s Audi FIS Ski World Cup for the eighth time over Thanksgiving weekend. The first day of racing action was marked by a combination of jubilation and heartbreak as U.S. Ski Team members Nina O’Brien and Paula Moltzan posted their best World Cup giant slalom finishes to date. But as their teammate Mikaela Shiffrin descended the course, on track for her 100th World Cup victory, a dramatic crash took her out of contention for the rest of the event. Shiffrin was cleared of major injury, but her return to snow is to be determined. Sara Hector, of Sweden, won the giant slalom, while Zrinka Ljutic, of Croatia, and Camille Rast, of Switzerland, rounded out the podium.

With Shiffrin out of contention on Sunday, Paula Moltzan was the only member of the U.S. Ski Team to make it to the second run. However, she crashed in her second run and did not finish. Rast took her first career World Cup win in the slalom event, with Anna Swenn Larsson, of Sweden, in second, and Wendy Holdener, of Switzerland, in third.

Killington Delivers Perfect Conditions for Giant Slalom Showdown

The first run of the World Cup Giant Slalom in Killington, Vermont, began under clear, crisp conditions, with a starting temperature of 22 degrees Fahrenheit. Athletes prepared to test their skills on the Superstar trail, energized by cheers from a massive, enthusiastic crowd.


Shiffrin Sets the Standard


Two-time Kranjska Gora winner Valerie Grenier opened the race with a steady performance, showing promise but falling short of the precision and speed required to challenge for the lead. She ended the morning in 12th place.

Immediately following Grenier, Mikaela Shiffrin delivered a masterful run that electrified the crowd. Fans, many eager to see her reach the milestone of 100 career wins, erupted in cheers as she crossed the line 1.83 seconds ahead of Grenier, firmly establishing herself as the leader.


Early Contenders Test the Leader


The action intensified as top competitors aimed to match Shiffrin’s performance. Federica Brignone, the Italian who won the season’s first Giant Slalom in Sölden, r


American alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, on the cusp of history, instead ended the Stifel Killington Cup with disappointment.

Shiffrin was on track to earn her 100th World Cup win at the Killington Cup on Saturday, a stop on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup held in Vermont. But while making her second run down the mountain in the giant slalom race, Shiffrin wiped out and failed to finish.

Shiffrin ended the first run in first place with a time of 55.78, finishing 0.32 seconds ahead of Swedish skier Sara Hector. Shiffrin then went last on the second run, but seemingly clipped a gate and became entangled in the netting that marked out of bounds. She did not finish the run.

Per Noah Cierzan of MyNBC5, Shiffrin was carted off the slopes on a sled after needing help getting untangled from the netting. Shiffrin sustained a puncture wound to the right side of her abdomen and severe muscle trauma, the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team said on Sunday. Her bones and internal organs are OK, however, and there was no ligament damage assessed.

Hector went on to win the event as a result, and sits first in the World Cup standings. Shiffrin is now in 11th place in th

The women kicked off the second day at the Stifel Killington Cup with a challenging, tight course for the first run of slalom.

The Stifel Killington Cup began with the giant slalom event, where Mikaela Shiffrin aimed to make history by securing her 100th World Cup victory and reaching 155 podium finishes. After the first run, she was in a commanding position ahead of her competitors. 

Unfortunately, during the second run, she experienced a crash and was taken to the hospital for assessment, where she suffered from abrasion and a puncture, but fortunately, no long-lasting damage. This incident significantly impacted the race today, especially since Shiffrin is the reigning champion, having won both slalom races this season.

The athletes were going to utilize Shiffrin’s absence today to try to secure their own victory. 

German Lena Dürr put herself in a strong position heading into the second run to do just that. She put down a strong performance on the challenging course, transitioning quickly on and off
