American skier Mikaela Shiffrin won the gold medal in the slalom at the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina today.

Shiffrin was by far the best in both the first and second runs and won the kayak with a time of 1:39,10 minutes.

She thus won her second Olympic gold in slalom, after the one won in Sochi in 2014. She also has a gold in giant slalom and a silver in combined from the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, while she was left without a medal at the Beijing Games.

The silver medal today went to Swiss skier Camille Rast, who was 1,50 seconds slower than Shiffrin. The bronze went to Sweden's Anna Sven Larson, who was 1,71 seconds behind the winner.
