Shiffrin’s 17th World Cup race win this season also extended her own record for men and women. The New Zealand prospect earned her World Cup finals entry by winning the giant slalom at the junior world championships last month. Hirscher already clinched the slalom title, and a record-extending eighth straight overall title, before the final race Sunday. Olympic slalom champion Frida Hansdotter wore Swedish traditional dress for a ceremonial last run in the giant slalom, and Felix Neureuther raced more competitively to place seventh in slalom. Neureuther, who has 13 career World Cup race wins, was doused with champagne and snow in the finish area by his Germany teammates.
