Mikaela Shiffrin might have missed out on a medal that would have made her the most decorated alpine skier ever, but the US star was buoyant after what she dubbed her "miraculous" fifth place in the slalom on Saturday.
Shiffrin had finished third fastest in the first leg to remain on course to surpass Christl Cranz, who competed for Germany in the 1930s, with both locked on 15 world championships medals.
