The countdown is over—Mikaela Shiffrin and the world’s top alpine skiers are hitting the Czech slopes in Špindlerův Mlýn for the final women’s technical races before the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics explode into action next month. It’s game on for the Women’s Giant Slalom today, January 24, 2026, with Run 1 firing up at 10:00 CET (that’s 9:00 AM WAT / adjust for your zone)!
Fresh off her slalom dominance (6 wins in 7 this season, including a massive 107th overall World Cup victory in Flachau) and a strong 4th in the recent Kronplatz GS, Shiffrin is locked in and hungry. This venue holds special vibes for her: debut as a teen, past wins, and now she’s charging toward Olympic form on what could be her last big test before the Tofane hills in Cortina.
The field is stacked—Austria’s Julia Scheib leads the GS standings after her hot streak, while Shiffrin lurks as the ultimate threat. Every run counts in this pre-Olympic pressure cooker.
