In a sport where 1st to 3rd place is regularly separated by a tenth or a couple hundredths of a second, winning by a full 2.29 seconds is like windmill dunking over an entire basketball team from the free-throw line. Her victory was the largest margin for a women’s slalom in more than three years (Mikaela also holds the record margin of 3.07 seconds from a 2015 victory).
With her win fourth straight win Killington’s slalom race Sunday, Mikaela has an incredible 62nd career world cup race wins at just 24 years old. She is currently tied at 62 with Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll for fourth most career World Cup wins and second among women.
An incredible afternoon of skiing for all you lucky enough to be slopeside at Killington and incredible win for Mikeala!
