US ski star Mikaela Shiffrin extended her domination of World Cup slaloms with a third win from three discipline races this season on Sunday on home snow in Copper Mountain.

Having wrapped up victories in Levi and Gurgl, the 30-year-old led after the first leg in Colorado and also shone second time down the piste for a record-extending 104th World Cup win and 67th in slalom.

After last season was hit by injury, Shiffrin is looking nearly unstoppable in slalom as she targets a sixth overall World Cup title and Olympic glory in Milan/Cortina in February.

She was a huge 1.57 seconds ahead of Germany's Lena Dürr, with Albanian Lara Colturi also on the podium. Shiffrin had shown she was human by finishing 14th in Saturday's giant slalom.

The next alpine skiing World Cup race is also in the US, with the first downhill of the season - a men's race - taking place in Beaver Creek on Friday.
