The American skiing star, 30, became the first US skier to win three Olympic gold medals with her victory in the women's slalom. Shiffrin finished 1.50 seconds ahead of silver medalist Camille Rast of Switzerland, with Anna Swenn Larsson of Sweden taking bronze.
The winning margin marked the largest in any Olympic alpine skiing event since 1998. Shiffrin's victory ends an eight-year Olympic gold drought for the skier, who last won Olympic gold in 2018.
