Mikaela Shiffrin already has three Olympic medals. She can win her third reindeer on Saturday.
Shiffrin headlines the first slalom of the World Cup season in Levi, Finland, live on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA and streaming via NBC Sports Gold’s Snow Pass.
The first run is at 4:15 a.m. ET. The second is at 7.
The traditional (and unconventional) winner’s prize in Finland is a reindeer. Shiffrin captured the Levi slalom in 2013 and 2016, naming her furry friends Rudolph and Sven.
The reindeer stay in Finland while Shiffrin criss-crosses Europe and North America on the World Cup tour.
