STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 10, 2020 – NBC Sports’ presentation of the 2020-21 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup season begins with the women’s slalom from Levi, Finland, next Saturday, Nov. 21, at 6:45 a.m. ET live on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA, NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app, OlympicChannel.com and the Olympic Channel app. An encore presentation of the race will be presented later in the evening at 12 a.m. ET on NBCSN.
The winningest slalom skier in World Cup history and three-time Olympic medalist Mikaela Shiffrin is expected to make her World Cup competition season debut in Levi.
