"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."
"I've skied with Mikaela since I was 13," said Moltzan after the race. "So her winning is nothing new, but it doesn't mean I don't want to beat her. We talk about it all the time and it's going to happen at some point, but I'll keep fighting until I get there."
Mikaela Shiffrin won the Flachau night slalom on January 13 with a clean, controlled first run and a composed, attacking second run under floodlights on the Hermann Maier course. Paula Moltzan backed a solid opening run with an aggressive second to finish a close second, demonstrating depth in the U.S. women's technical team. Katharina Truppe delivered two consistent runs to take third for Austria, drawing loud cheers from the packed finish area. Steady conditions and a charged nighttime atmosphere amplified the event's drama and showcased precise, world-class technical skiing on a marquee World Cup night.
