Even hours after her historic world championship slalom victory, Canadian Laurence St-Germain still sorted through the emotions of her golden performance. She shocked herself and the competitive Alpine ski community with a gold-medal performance in Meribel, France, upsetting American Mikaela Shiffrin and denying her a fifth world slalom title Saturday.
Even hours after her historic world championship slalom victory, Canadian Laurence St-Germain still sorted through the emotions of her golden performance.
“To be part of that page of history is crazy,” St-Germain said during a media conference call from France. “But it's pretty impressive, and I'm proud.” St-Germain blazed down the hill to snatch the top spot after her second run, with Holdener and Shiffrin still to come. As she celebrated with teammates Ali Nullmeyer and Amelia Smart, they let her know Holdener straddled a gate and did not finish.
Three weeks ago, at Spindleruv in Mlyn, Czechia, St-Germain was buoyed by her seventh-place showing. After the result, she set out to continue her progress.
