ARE, Sweden — Mikaela Shiffrin showed that the American ski team can live without Lindsey Vonn, at least for a little while.
In the first World Cup race since Vonn said she was taking a break from the circuit, the 17-year-old Shiffrin picked up the slack quite nicely. She won a night slalom ahead of Sweden’s Frida Hansdotter for her first World Cup victory.
