Zrinka Ljutic has won three of the past four World Cup slaloms and just turned 21. Lara Colturi is only 18 and has already been on the podium twice this season. American talent Lauren Macuga upstaged Lindsey Vonn when she won a super-G in January. Malorie Blanc came out of nowhere to finish second in her first World Cup downhill.

Ljutic went on to win two more slaloms in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, and Courchevel, France; having earned her first podium this season with a second-place result in the giant slalom in Killington, Vermont, when Shiffrin crashed and suffered a deep puncture wound to her side. Daniela Ceccarelli, Colturi’s mother, won gold in super-G at the 2002 Olympics and now coaches her daughter. Colturi’s father is a ski coach.
“The potential is crazy and when you see the support infrastructure they have vs. an Austrian team or a U.S. team or a Swiss team, it’s crazy: Mom and dad taking the lead, we’ve got a staff member there for support and then she’s got a service guy and that’s it,” Riml said. “It’s unbelievable with very limited resources what they’re able to do.”Rast claimed her first victory in the slalom in Killington the day after Shiffrin crashed in the Vermont resort.
When Macuga claimed her first World Cup victory in St. Anton last month, Vonn finished fourth for her best result since coming out retirement.
