Mikaela Shiffrin is golden again.
Four years after Shiffrin burst on the scene with a gold medal in the women's slalom, the 22-year-old American blitzed the competition Thursday and opened her stay at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, with a masterful winning run in the giant slalom final.
Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel took silver and Italy's Federica Brignone managed bronze.
