CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) --- Mikaela Shiffrin's eight-year Olympic medal
drought is over.
The American skiing standout put in two dominant runs to win the women's slalom
at the Winter Games on Wednesday by 1.50 seconds.
The race isn't officially over yet, with dozens of lower-tier racers still to
take the course. But Shiffrin is the leader after the fastest 30 skiers from
the first run.
World champion Camille Rast was in silver medal position and Anna Swenn Larsson
in third.
