Season summary

The traditional opening slalom races in Levi, which have not been won by someone other than the duo of Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States and Petra Vlhová of Slovakia since the race was cancelled in 2015, held true to form when Vlhová won the first one and Shiffrin won the second.[2][4] For Shiffrin, this was her seventh race victory at the venue.[4] Shiffrin then won the slalom at Killington, her sixth victory there in slalom in seven starts, and established a 70-point lead in the discipline for the season.[5] In the final event before Christmas, though, Vlhová edged Shiffrin at Courchevel, with no one else finishing within two seconds of her, which reduced Shiffrin's lead in the discipline to 50 points.[6] However, Shiffrin won the last slalom of the year (in Lienz) by over 2.3 seconds against the field, with Vlhova fifth, stretching Shiffrin's season lead to 105 points.[7]

In the first race of 2024, in the fog and rain of Kranjska Gora, Shiffrin struggled with the conditions and failed to complete her first run. Vlhová took full advantage, winning the race and closing her deficit in the discipline down to 5 points.[8] However, the two races during the week of 15 January decided the season, as Schiffrin won both: first in Flachau, Austria, edging Vlhová in a mid-week night race,[9] and then in Jasná, Slovakia, where Vlhová, skiing less than 20 km from her childhood home, suffered a season-ending ligament tear, leaving Shiffrin with a 125-point lead over Vlhová and a 228-point lead over her closest active competitor, Lena Dürr of Germany (who finished seventh), with only three races remaining in the discipline for the season.[10]

However, while recovering from ligament sprains, Shiffrin missed the next race in Andorra,[11] which was then won by Sweden's Anna Swenn-Larsson for her second career victory.[12] But Shiffrin returned for the last race before finals in Åre and posted the fastest time on each run to win by well over a second and clinch the season championship in the discipline.[3]

Finals

The World Cup finals in the discipline took place on Saturday, 16 March 2024 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria. Only the top 25 skiers in the World Cup slalom discipline and the winner of the Junior World Championship in the discipline, plus any skiers who have scored at least 500 points in the World Cup overall classification for the season, were eligible to compete in the final, and only the top 15 earned World Cup points. In this race, the winner of the women's slalom Junior World Championship (Dženifera Ģērmane) was already eligible as one of the top 25 skiers in the discipline for the season, and no skier with at least 500 points who wasn't otherwise eligible chose to compete. Due to injuries to Vhlová and Wendy Holdener, only 23 skiers competed.

Although Shiffrin had already clinched the discipline championship, she also won the final for her 97th total World Cup victory (and 60th victory in slalom) in her final race of the season.[13] By placing 15th in the final (the final scoring position, worth 16 points), Dürr finally edged past the injured Vhlová (by 3 points) for second in the discipline for the season.
