Paula Moltzan leaves Rossignol to join Van Deer-Red Bull Sports, becoming the first woman to race for the brand in women's alpine skiing.
That was exciting! This is insane how many people are here. It's so cool! Thank you for coming. This crowd tonight was... I mean you can see the footprints all the way up the side of the slope. That was special.
Mikaela Shiffrin completed another dominant night in Flachau on Tuesday, winning a World Cup slalom to extend her season-long stranglehold on the discipline while leading an American one-two finish with teammate Paula Moltzan. Shiffrin followed up her fastest opening run with a composed second run to finish 0.41sec clear of Moltzan, claiming her sixth victory in seven slalom races this season.
The win was an emotional one for Rast, who competed wearing a black armband in remembrance of the victims of the recent fire in Crans-Montana. The Swiss skier hails from Vétroz, just 20 miles from the resort, and dedicated her victory to the victims and families, stating in her post-race interview that she hoped her win gave a smile to those at home during this difficult time.
