Not even a chest cold that left her doubled over in the finish area, then sitting in the snow gasping for air and coughing, could stop Mikaela Shiffrin’s quest for another historic achievement on Saturday. With an inspiring comeback in the second run, the EagleVail racer overcame severe chest congestion and rebounded from a third-place clocking in the first run to become the first alpine skier to win four straight world titles in the same discipline, claiming slalom gold at the world alpine championships in Are, Sweden. It was her third medal at these world championships, following gold in super-G and bronze in giant slalom.
