Stockholm is set to host the latest International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Skiing World Cup as the season resumes following the conclusion of the World Championships.

United States’ Mikaela Shiffrin was among the gold medallists at the Championships in nearby Åre, which concluded yesterday.

The four-time world slalom champion will aim for further success tomorrow as she seeks to increase her lead in the women’s World Cup standings.

She will compete in the parallel slalom competition at Hammarbybacken in Sweden’s capital city.

The event will feature two race tracks, red and blue, with skiers set to go head-to-head.

They will compete in two races against each other, one on each track.

The winner will advance to the next round of the competition.
