00:00Michaela Schifrin has finally ended her Olympic medal drought, winning gold in the women's slalom
00:05at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina Dompezo, Italy. She dominated the event, finishing with a
00:12combined time of 1 minute 39 seconds and 10 milliseconds, 1.5 seconds ahead of Switzerland's
00:18Camille Rast, who took silver, and Sweden's Anna Sven Larsson, who secured bronze. Schifrin's
00:24victory marks her 4th Olympic medal and 3rd gold, making her the only American in alpine
00:30skiing history to achieve this feat. She previously won gold in slalom at the 2014 Sochi Games,
00:36and gold in giant slalom and silver in combined at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. This win is
00:43particularly sweet for Schifrin, who had struggled in previous events at the 2026 Olympics, including
00:49a disappointing 11th place finish in the giant slalom. Her determination and resilience paid
00:55off, and she's now tied with snowboarder Sean White and bobsledder Kaylee Humphreys for second
01:01most golds by a U.S. Winter Olympian.
