Vlhova equals Shiffrin’s reindeer count

As the blue sky smiled at the skiers, the legends girded themselves up. Until yesterday, the 28-year-old GOAT was the sole possessor of 6 reindeers. But after yesterday’s grand event, the world can’t say the same. Levi, being her most beloved venue, Mikaela Shiffrin won 6 slalom victories in Levi.

But Petra Vlhova has equalled herself as she’s also the owner of 6 reindeers now. Slalom winners in Levi earn reindeers because the Finnish land is near to the Arctic Circle, and the closest to Santa Claus.
