The crowd at the finish line was less than the amount of woman waiting in line for the bathrooms last weekend at K.

She broke a gate, skied over it and still won the race yesterday in Mirabor, Slovenia. See at 2:33 here:



These gates must have been cheap knock-offs from China as several other woman broke gates and skied over them. Only Mikaela did not crash.

She came in fourth in the GS on Saturday. She's now 305 points ahead of Lara Gut on the overall leader board.

Cool. Thanks for posting, Liv4ski! The commentary in German made her runs that much more dramatic! I only understood "Schnell" and "Mikaela Shiffrin" plus a few numbers. Mikaela completed a decent turn with the snapped slalom pole between her skis! Nice!

You gotta like the magnum of champagne (Slovenian bubbly?) spray for the podium winners! That's gotta be a lot of fun.

Mach schnell, Mikaela!!

A tie for 3rd today, which was pretty kick :barebutt: since she was 1.38 sec behind after the 1st run.
