ASPEN, Colo. (AP) Mikaela Shiffrin is leading by a wide margin after the first run as she tries to capture back-to-back World Cup slalom races in Aspen.
The 20-year-old American finished in 47.73 seconds Sunday, opening a 1.69-second advantage over Sarka Strachova of Czech Republic. Sweden's Frida Hansdotter is third.
Shiffrin won Saturday's slalom by 3.07 seconds, the largest margin of victory in World Cup history for the women's discipline. It was a mark that had stood since 1968. Shiffrin could top it a day later.
This has turned into quite a weekend of racing for Shiffrin after a rough start. She crashed in the giant slalom Friday but bounced back for a victory.
