Mikaela Shiffrin dominates ahead of Milano Cortina Olympics

Mikaela Shiffrin is going to the Milano Cortina Olympics on a hot streak.

Shiffrin won her seventh World Cup slalom of the season on Sunday, Jan. 25, securing the season title in slalom even with two more races after the Olympics. It's her ninth slalom title, breaking the previous record for globes in a single discipline set by Ingemar Stenmark (slalom and giant slalom) and Lindsey Vonn (downhill).

"That's crazy," Shiffrin said.

Shiffrin has won all but one slalom race this season, often by wide margins. This time she was 1.67 seconds ahead of Camille Rast of Switzerland.

Shiffrin let out a whoop after crossing the finish line, giving a small shake of her polls and blowing a kiss to fans.

"It's a very special place for me," Shiffrin said. "I'm happy to walk away from this weekend with another wonderful feeling."

Shiffrin wasthird in the giant slalomon Saturday, Jan. 24, her first GS podium in two years.
