Reigning Olympic and world champion Shiffrin from Vail, Colorado, produced a technically impec- cable performance to dominate the first run. She stayed focussed second time out and dominated the opposition with a 1.68 seconds overall advance over Zettel. It was the 19-year-old’s second slalom victory this season after she won at Kuhtai, Austria on Monday. It was also her second victory at Sljeme, a mountain peak over- looking Zagreb, where Croatia’s skiing stars-the Kostelic siblings Janica and Ivica made their skiing debuts. Shiffrin won the Zagreb slalom in 2013. Last year the race was not held due to unfavourable weather conditions. “If I enjoy it I know that I will be a good run” which was the case Sunday, a gleeful and smiling Shiffrin told reporters. “I feel like I’m in complete control of myself (on skis) for the first time in my life!” “I felt like I skied very well in the first run and I attacked the course” in the second, she said. “I try to go as fast as I can as soon as I can ... I like skiing fast!” Zettel echoed the American’s view: “It’s great to look at Mikaela. She is skiing smoothly, it looks easy. It’s impor- tant not to lose fun (in skiing).” The 28-year-old Austrian said she liked the Sljeme slope as it was long and steep. “I have problems with easy and flat slopes. I like this one. I’m glad I ended up second.” Norway’s Loeseth made the first podium of her career but said she hoped it was just the start. “It’s a good feeling. I’ve been fighting so hard. It came later than I anticipated. I’m not finished yet, but it’s a good start,” the 25-year-old said. “I love this hill, atmosphere ... the course is long and tough. I looked at Mikaela and how cool and cold she was, it inspired me.” Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter was fourth while World Cup overall leader Tina Maze, who was touted to be the favourite on Sunday along with Shiffrin, came in fifth.
