Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin saved her best for last Saturday, defending her world slalom crown with a blistering second run in the final ladies event of the Beaver Creek Worlds.
The 19-year-old American clocked a time of one minute 38.48 seconds, topping an earlier run by silver medallist Frida Hansdotter of Sweden, who finished 0.34sec behind. Czech Sarka Strachova was 0.43sec back of Hansdotter for the final podium spot.
Shiffrin becomes just the third woman to win the slalom title in back-to-back Worlds and the first world champion to win on home snow since 1997 when Italian Deborah Compagnoni did it in Sestriere.
