American Mikaela Shiffrin settles for bronze medal in slalom at world ski championships

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy -- American Mikaela Shiffrin had her winning streak in slalom at world championships ended by Katharina Liensberger on Saturday as the title returned to Austria after 10 years.

This time, Shiffrin finished 1.98 seconds behind Liensberger, who posted the fastest times in both runs.

After her triumph in Tuesday's parallel event, Liensberger became a double world champion, but she has yet to win on the World Cup circuit.

"I don't think there was ever a time where I could have said 'I win four medals in one world championships.' But it's one thing to sort of dream about getting the medals, but in the moment when it counts, having good enough skiing to do it, especially for the world championships to do it four times, is really special.".
