The winningest slalom skier in World Cup history and three-time Olympic medalist Mikaela Shiffrin is expected to compete in Zagreb, where she aims to move into sole possession of third place in all-time World Cup victories (68), behind only Ingemar Stenmark (86) and Lindsey Vonn (82). Shiffrin is coming off a third-place finish in the slalom yesterday in Semmering, Austria, her 99th career World Cup podium.
NBC Sports’ Steve Schlanger (play-by-play) will call the women’s slalom alongside former U.S. ski team racer Steve Porino (analyst).
In addition to alpine skiing, NBC Sports and Peacock Premium will offer extensive coverage of six additional skiing and snowboarding sports in January, including cross-country skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, Nordic combined, ski jumping and biathlon. Complete schedules can be accessed here.
