Shrugging off the disappointment of a fall the previous day, Mikaela Shiffrin turned in two blistering runs on Saturday in Aspen, Colo., to win a World Cup slalom by 3.07 seconds, the largest margin of victory in the history of the women’s discipline.
Shiffrin, the reigning Olympic and world champion, flew through the technical course and finished in a two-run combined time of 1 minute 39.81 seconds. Veronika Velez Zuzulova of Slovakia was second.
