• Vlhova wins slalom at Kranjska Gora, denying Holdener
• Shiffrin DNFs in World Cup slalom for first time since 2018
• Race was moved from Maribor resort due to lack of snow

Petra Vlhova cemented her status as the leading female slalom skier of the season with her fifth win from six races on Sunday with just a month to go before the Olympic race in Beijing.
