Mikalea Shiffin picks up where she left off

First race after a two-month long injury break.

Impressive.

Too bad she is going to likely run out of events to get enough points to claim the Slalom globe. I haven't done the math but Shiffrin would have to win all three remaining events (pretty likely she can pull this off) and Hansdotter would probably have to finish 10th or worse in each event (not going to happen).

 

[from_the_NEK]

Mikaela completed the season with only 5 Slalom races. However, her pure dominance was incredible.
She won every slalom she entered by an average margin of 2.11 seconds! The closest being Crans Montana (.45 seconds) that looks to have been a relatively easy course since everyone was pretty fast (see margin from second to 3rd).

Race	Margin of victory	Margin 2nd to 3rd
Aspen 1	3.07	0.19
Aspen 2	2.65	0.25
Crans Montana	0.45	0.05
Jasna	2.36	0.41
St Moritz	2.03	0.28
Average margin	2.112	0.236

She has now tested positive for covid.

Sucks but so has many of the top female racers ahead of hers. I'm certain she will not be the last. Going to be a messed up year for sure. At least she got it. Ow well ahead of the Olympics. Hopefully she's asymptomatic.

Not sure if this will help her, but CDC is now saying you only need to quarantine for 5 days after you test positive for Covid.

CDC is irrelevant. This is FIS rules and doubt the Euro's care what our CDC thinks.
