“I knew I had to push and go to the limit. I had to put it all together and I was so happy when I saw the green light.”
The boisterous crowd was entertained all the way to the end as all three athletes on the podium each saw green lights when they crossed the line, as did Camille Rast (SUI/Head) who finished fourth, one place ahead of Wendy Holdener (SUI/Head).
“I heard them up until I thought ‘OK I have to push because they want to have a show’,” Truppe said of the noisy fans.
Shiffrin added: “I was standing at the start; Camille came in with a green light, and then Truppe came in with a green light, then Paula, and I was like ‘Oh it’s just getting louder, I didn’t think that’s possible!'”
Shiffrin remains at the top of the Slalom standings following her win. She is now on 680 points, with Rast in second on 412 points with three races remaining.
