(CNN)Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova brought Mikaela Shiffrin’s unbeaten World Cup slalom run to a halt by claiming the Oslo city event on New Year’s Day, beating the American in the final.
The record-breaking Shiffrin was unbeaten in her favored discipline in the current World Cup campaign and had won 13 of the last 14 to underline her dominance.
But Vlhova, showing brilliant technique in the head-to-head parallel slalom racing, was first across the line in both legs of the final against Shiffrin, long her nemesis.
