SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson won gold in the new team combined event at the Alpine skiing world championships on Tuesday.

The Americans beat silver medalists Lara Gut-Behrami and Wendy Holdener of Switzerland by 0.39 seconds.

Stephanie Venier and Katharina Truppe of Austria took bronze.

The Canadian duo of Cassidy Gray, of Invermere, B.C., and Laurence St-Germain, of St. Ferréol-les-Neiges, Que., finished 19th.

The gold was Shiffrin’s 15th career medal from world championships and she matches the record set in the 1930s by German skier Christl Cranz.

It’s the second gold medal for Johnson, who won the downhill three days ago.

Lindsey Vonn finished the downhill 2.51 seconds off the lead in 21st position and ended up in 16th after her teammate AJ Hurt raced in the slalom.

The team combined entails one racer competing in a downhill run and another in a slalom, with their two times added up to determine the final results.

The team combined will make its debut at next year’s Milan-Cortina Olympics.
