Raleigh Durham, NC, October 24, 2026 —
Mikaela Shiffrin holds the lead following the first run of the women’s giant slalom in Sölden, Austria, as the event marks the start of the Alpine ski racing season.
The available information identifies Shiffrin as the leader at the end of the opening run. It does not provide her time, the size of her lead, or the names and positions of the other competitors. No further details about the course or the conditions in Sölden were provided.
The result reported is limited to the first run. The summary does not state the final outcome of the event or provide details about any subsequent run. It also does not give a date for the race.
Sölden’s women’s giant slalom is identified in the summary as the season-opening event for Alpine ski racing. Shiffrin’s position after the first run therefore places her at the front of the field at this stage of the competition, but the information available does not establish how the event concluded.
Further results, including competitors’ times and the final standings, were not included in the summary. The reported update is confined to Shiffrin’s lead after the opening run and the event’s role in beginning the Alpine ski racing season.
