Meillard Revives Slalom World Cup Hopes with Norway Victory

Loïc Meillard has revived his hopes of winning the Slalom World Cup title by clinching victories in both the giant slalom and slalom races at Hafjell, Norway, reducing the points gap to leader Henrik Kristoffersen to just 47 with one race remaining. Meillard's impressive performance showcased his experience and skill, as he managed to regain control after a mistake during the second run. His consistent performances this season have kept him competitive, with only two failures impacting an otherwise stellar run. Meanwhile, Mikaela Shiffrin celebrated her 100th World Cup victory, marking a significant milestone in her career after overcoming a serious injury sustained in late 2024. Shiffrin's comeback was characterized by rigorous rehabilitation and determination, culminating in her historic win in Sestriere, Italy. As the season nears its conclusion, both athletes demonstrate resilience and a fierce commitment to their sport.
