Mikaela Shiffrin celebrates after winning a World Cup slalom race in Flachau, Austria on Jan. 13, 2026. Mikaela Shiffrin edged fellow American Paula Moltzan to claim her sixth World Cup slalom title of the season and her 70th all-time during a night race in Flachau, Austria on Tuesday.
Shiffrin posted the fastest time of the first run and went on to win in 1 minute, 50.52 seconds — 0.41 seconds ahead of Moltzan — for her sixth win in seven slalom events this season. It also extended her World Cup victory record to 107 overall.
Moltzan, a Minnesota native still seeking her first World Cup victory, claimed her fourth career runner-up finish. It was her first podium in the slalom this season.
Austria’s Katharina Truppe finished 0.65 behind to claim third ahead of Switzerland’s Camille Rast, who snapped Shiffrin’s six-event slalom win streak in Slovenia last week.
Another American, Nina O’Brien, used the fastest second run to move up to a 13th-place finish.
The World Cup event in Czechia on Jan. 25 is the final slalom race before the Milan Cortina Winter Games begin Feb. 6.
