Truppe Wins Slalom; Shiffrin Sets Podium Record

Mikaela Shiffrin broke the record for the most Alpine skiing World Cup podiums with her 156th top-three finish on Sunday in Åre, Sweden. Despite leading after the first run, Shiffrin finished third due to a slower second run, while Austria's Katharina Truppe secured her first World Cup victory. Truppe narrowly beat her compatriot Katharina Liensberger by 0.05 seconds. Shiffrin's achievement surpasses the previous record held by Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark, who had 155 podium finishes. However, Shiffrin, who turns 30 soon, is not in contention for this season's slalom World Cup title after missing two months due to an injury. The slalom title race remains open with Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic leading the standings ahead of the final in Sun Valley, Idaho, on March 27.
