In Olympic sports over the weekend, Mikaela Shiffrin extended arguably the most dominant run of her career and qualified for her fourth Olympic team. Plus, Americans picked up key wins in short track speed skating, bobsled and freestyle skiing.

Shiffrin won her third consecutive World Cup slalom to start the season – all by dominant margins of more than a second – to clinch a spot at the Milan Cortina Games.

Shiffrin prevailed in Copper Mountain, Colorado, by 1.57 seconds over German Lena Dürr on Sunday. Including last season’s World Cup Finals, Shiffrin has won four slaloms in a row, all by at least 1.13 seconds. Shiffrin never before won three World Cup slaloms in a row by at least one second.
