Mikaela Shiffrin won a parallel slalom city event on Monday to match her childhood idol, Marlies Schild, with her 37th World Cup victory. "For me, this is totally different than GS or slalom, or a traditional ski race because you have the person next to you. And I always know that my competitors really want to win — everybody wants to win," Shiffrin said. Ryding had eliminated overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher in the quarterfinals but then fell in the opening run of his semifinal against Matt. Up next on the World Cup circuit are traditional women's and men's slaloms in Zagreb, Croatia, on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
