After Mikaela Shiffrin won Monday’s super combined at the world championships, her chief rival made an acknowledgement ahead of the final two races in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
“She was perfect in super-G and also in slalom,” said Slovakian Petra Vlhova, the silver medalist. Media reported she called Shiffrin “unbeatable” in Monday’s event combining one run of each discipline.
Shiffrin rides record-breaking success into her Olympic gold-medal events to finish the two-week worlds — Thursday’s giant slalom and Saturday’s slalom — with more history at stake.
