Shiffrin sealed a third consecutive world slalom title and also bagged a GS silver.
It was a turning point for the 21-year-old, who vowed “no limits” as she announced her targeting the super-G and downhill in her quest for global domination.
“I have a lot of goals there and hopefully some day I’d like to win in super-G and downhill, but that’ll take some time before I can do that consistently, so it’s definitely a long road for me,” she said.
