Mikaela Shiffrin’s eight-year Olympic medal drought is over. The American skiing standout has put in two dominant runs to win the women’s slalom by 1.50 seconds. The race isn’t officially over yet with dozens of lower-tier racers still to take the course. But Shiffrin is the leader after the fastest 30 skiers from the first run. World champion Camille Rast was in silver medal position and Anna Swenn Larsson in third.
