"Åre is one of the places where my heart feels a little bit at home. - Mikaela Shiffrin"
"For Shiffrin, the victory was her eighth slalom win of the season from nine starts, equaling her own record from the 2018-19 season, shared with Janica Kostelić. Åre has long held special meaning for the American-she won her first World Cup race in Åre, tied with and then beat Ingemar Stenmark's record for most World Cup wins in Åre, had her first race after her father's death in Åre, and made her comeback after her Killington crash at Åre in 2024."
Mikaela Shiffrin captured victory in the women's slalom at the World Cup weekend in Åre, Sweden, finishing 0.94 seconds ahead of Emma Aicher of Germany, with Wendy Holdener of Switzerland placing third. This victory marked Shiffrin's eighth slalom win from nine starts this season, equaling her own record from the 2018-19 season.

In the first run, Shiffrin set the fastest time of 50.22 seconds, ahead of Austria's Katharina Truppe and Switzerland's Wendy Holdener.
