Grand Prix at Aspen, Colorado, which would mark his first snowboard contest since the 2018 Olympics. In other sports, Shaun White is on the entry list for the U.S. Pinturault leads by 31 points going into the last four races. The men’s overall race is tighter between Frenchman Alexis Pinturault, the most successful male World Cup skier in history without an overall title, and 23-year-old Swiss phenom Marco Odermatt. Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami can put pressure on Vlhova by performing well in the opening downhill on Wednesday and super-G on Thursday. A race winner gets 100 points, followed by 80 points for second, 60 for third and 50 for fourth on a scale that continues to descend. Vlhova also owns a 96-point lead in the overall standings, looking to be the first Slovakian to win an overall title. If rival Petra Vlhova finishes first or second, she takes the crystal globe. Even with a win, she would need help to move from third place to first in the final standings, accumulating results from all nine slaloms this season.
Shiffrin’s key race is Saturday’s slalom. The last race for each major discipline per gender - downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom - is scheduled from Wednesday through Sunday. Shiffrin, the most successful slalom skier in history with 45 World Cup wins (among 69 total victories), trails in the standings by an erasable 37 points going into this week’s finale in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.Ĭrystal globes for season champions in every discipline, plus the overall (ski racing’s biggest annual prize) are awarded at the World Cup Finals.
Mikaela Shiffrin goes for a seventh slalom season title at the Alpine skiing World Cup Finals on NBC Sports, Olympic Channel and Peacock Premium this week.
