Slovakian Petra Vlhova was the star of the weekend at the FIS Alpine World Cup's return inLevi, Finland, as she won both slalom races - for five straight looking back to last season. Congrats as well to the anticipated return of U.S. star Mikaela Shiffrin, finishing second and fifth in her own successful return.
