Which events is Shiffrin favored to win?
Shiffrin is a technical master and has traditionally excelled in slalom and giant slalom competitions. In 2014, she took home the gold in slalom and is the reigning Olympic gold medalist for giant slalom.
While a favorite in both races, she faces stiff competition in both events from Sweden’s Sara Hector — who has defeated Shiffrin in three of the six World Cup races this season in giant slalom — and Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova — who triumphed over the American in slalom during four of the six competitions.
Shiffrin American is favored to win the combined event, which she won the 2021 World Championship for and an Olympic silver medal in 2018.
