LEVI, Finland—Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova was in a class of her own on Saturday as she finished the women’s World Cup slalom race in Levi, Finland, more than a second in front of her rivals, while favourite American Mikaela Shiffrin came home fourth.

The slopes at the Lapland ski resort were perfect for Vlhova, who won the race 1.41 seconds ahead of Lena Duerr from Germany with a total time of one minute 50.59 seconds.
