SKIING

Hirscher notches 58th career win — Olympic champion Marcel Hirscher won the season-ending men’s World Cup giant slalom in Are, Sweden, on Saturday for his 58th career victory. The Austrian had already locked up the season title in the discipline and his seventh straight overall championship two weeks ago. On Saturday, he became only the third skier to win 13 races in a single World Cup season, after Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark in 1978-79 and Austria’s Hermann Maier in 2000-01. Hirscher beat Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway by 0.23 seconds, while Victor Muffat-Jeandet of France was another 0.03 back in third. It was the 11th time that Kristoffersen finished a race in second place this season, a World Cup record. Bend’s Tommy Ford finished eighth in 2:15.69 for his third top-10 World Cup finish of the season.

7th slalom win this season for Shiffrin — Overall champion Mikaela Shiffrin won her seventh slalom of the season at the World Cup finals on Saturday.

Olympic slalom champion Frida Hansdotter of Sweden was another 0.01 behind in third. It was Shiffrin’s 32nd victory in the discipline and 43rd overall. She secured her fifth slalom season title and second straight overall championship last week.
