Shiffrin dominates another Lienz slalom, Odermatt wins Bormio super-g

Mikaela Shiffrin underlined her status as the greatest alpine skier of all-time by racking up a 93rd World Cup victory in a slalom in Lienz on Friday.

A day after sealing giant slalom victory in the Austrian resort, the American World Cup defending champion powered down the course in her preferred discipline, leading by over a second after the first run and then extending her margin to a massive 2.34 seconds on the last leg.

It was the World Cup leader's fifth win overall in Lienz and a 56th slalom success on the main tour for the world record holder for race wins for both men and women.

"I think I feel really clear about the way I want to ski," the 28-year-old told ARD. "I don't know if it is a secret or just many years of finding a good base line."

Germany's Lena Dürr was second and Switzerland's Michelle Gisin third. American Paula Moltzan had been poised for the podium before missing a gate late on in her second run.

Men's World Cup leader Marco Odermatt went one better than the day before by winning the super-g in Bormio for a second straight year.

The Swiss skier missed his first ever downhill win by just 0.09 seconds on Thursday on the Italian piste, but returned to easily win the super-G by 0.98.

He sped down in 1 minute 27.72 with extreme technical prowess to deny Austrian Raphael Haaser. Norway's Aleksander Aamodt Kilde was third.

"It was a super ski - a lot like last year," Odermatt said.

Odermatt was already leading the overall World Cup as he looks for a third successive title and has now taken over at the top of the super-g discipline standings, which he also won last season.

France's Cyprien Sarrazin, who caused a shock by triumphing in a World Cup downhill for the first time on Thursday, skied out in the super-g.

Austrian Marco Schwarz, who had led overall coming to Bormio, did not compete in the super-g after suffering a knee injury in the downhill. His season now looks over after a cruciate ligament tear was diagnosed and successfully operated on.

On Friday, the Stelvio course claimed another casualty with Italy's Christof Innerhofer crashing into the fencing and having to be airlifted off the piste by helicopter. A leg injury was feared.

The alpine ski World Cup next heads to Slovenia's Kranjska Gora where the women have a giant slalom and slalom next weekend. The men meanwhile face a giant slalom and slalom in Adelboden in Switzerland.
