Shiffrin, which has dominated the Alpine World Cup in recent seasons, is only challenged by a rider after the first ride. It is somewhat surprising that 17-year-old New Zealander Alice Robinson, who was also praised by Shiffrin after the ride.
- I am very happy and went just as I have trained to do. That someone like her who is so experienced gives me praise means a lot, Robinson says to SVT Sport.
