Mikaela Shiffrin Praised Rast’s Performance After Kranjska Gora Double
Camille Rast dominated proceedings in Kranjska Gora, winning both the slalom and giant slalom events. After the slalom event, Mikaela Shiffrin was full of praise for her rival and hailed her performance.
“Her skiing is so strong, and it’s been building, building, building,” Shiffrin said via ESPN. “The last races she had some mistakes that cost time. And today, how I saw her ski the first run, ah, I had to go 120 percent in order to have a shot. So, it was a big, big, amazing day for her.”
As for her own performance, Shiffrin was content and felt that she managed to accomplish what she had wanted. Prior to her second-place finish in Kranjska Gora, Shiffrin had won six straight World Cup slalom events.

“I had a really specific goal for my skiing for the second run, a little bit technical thing, and I felt like I really accomplished that. This was the hardest I could push. I pushed so hard, it was like a small mistake here and a small mistake there and I don’t think that cost time. That was just how hard I was trying. I could feel these turns that I wanted to feel.”
Camille Rast and Mikaela Shiffrin will now head to Flachau in Austria for a night race on January 13. The Winter Olympics are almost upon us and will be held in Milan and Cortina from February 6 to 22.
