Sölden: A Thrilling Start to the Ski Season with Mikaela Shiffrin Leading
Sölden: The Season's First Giant Slalom
As the world of skiing kicks off, Sölden showcases Mikaela Shiffrin's dominant performance. With a time of one minute, five seconds, and eighty-two hundredths, she leads the pack with remarkable confidence.
Top Competitors Struggle
- Alice Robinson, trailing in second place by 0.22 seconds.
- Federica Brignone comes in third, 0.40 seconds behind.
- Challenges arise as the course conditions deteriorate throughout the day.
As other contenders falter, including Michelle Gisin at 2.17 seconds and Camille Rast at 2.44 seconds, the podium seems increasingly out of reach.
