American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin has a chance Sunday in Lienz, Austria, to end her magnificent year by setting yet another record in Sunday's final race of 2013.

At 18 years, 291 days, Shiffrin can become the youngest female skier to win five World Cup slaloms in one calendar year. The record is held by retired Croatian standout Janica Kostelic, who was 67 days older when she captured five slaloms in 2000.

"I didn't even know that; I guess now I am thinking about that," Shiffrin said.

Shiffrin has dominated the slalom circuit this year, winning both the world title and the World Cup discipline title.

After her maiden victory last year, Shiffrin won in Zagreb, Croatia; Flachau, Austria; and Lenzerheide, Switzerland in early 2013 before winning the first slalom of the current season in Levi, Finland, last month. If she wins Sunday, Shiffrin would join a group of six women who have won at least five slaloms in one year. Shiffrin planned to make it.

"I feel like I always leave something on the hill, and I don't want to do that anymore," she said.

• Anna Fenninger of Austria used a flawless second run to win a women's World Cup giant slalom in Lienz for her fifth career victory. Shiffrin finished third. Minnesotan Lindsey Vonn skipped the race to rest her injured right knee ahead of the Sochi Olympics.

Speedskating spots fill

Mitchell Whitmore won and qualified for the men's 500 meters at the U.S. Olympic speedskating trials in Kearns, Utah. The real drama came for the fourth spot on the team.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Shani Davis claimed the last berth, but only after Jonathan Garcia was disqualified for failing to wear a timing transponder on his ankles while skating a personal-best time that would've earned him a trip to Sochi. U.S. Speedskating officials granted Garcia a re-skate about a half-hour later, but he didn't come close to matching his previous time.

"It's really unfortunate," Davis said. "I remember the special feeling I had when I went [to the Olympics] the first time. I was really pulling for Garcia to pull through and take the spot, even if it knocked me off the team."

Heather Richardson won the women's 500, claiming a spot on the Olympic team. She is expected to qualify in two other events.

Brittany Bowe took second in 1:15.51 despite slipping off the start in her opening race. The former inline skater and college basketball player kept from falling and easily qualified for her first Olympic team.

Diggins takes fifth

Jessie Diggins, who won three high school state championships while at Stillwater, finished fifth in the women's prologue of the Tour de Ski in Oberhof, Germany. Overall cross-country World Cup leader Marit Bjoergen led a 1-2 Norwegian finish. The Tour de Ski continues Sunday with the second of seven stages, a sprint.

"The Tour is a fun, extremely hard, exciting series, and I think the key is to put together as many solid performances as you can," Diggins said. "No day needs to be an A-plus, but if you can have a lot of A-minus days in a row, the Tour goes pretty well."

Lodwick will be back

Todd Lodwick earned a spot in his sixth Winter Olympics, winning the nordic combined competition in the U.S. trials at Park City, Utah.

Lodwick, 37, who appeared in his first Olympics in 1994 at 17, won both the ski jumping portion of the event and the 10-kilometer cross-country race. He earned 125.0 points in the ski jump and finished the race in 25 minutes, 27.6 seconds.

"Being able to say I am going to my sixth Olympic Games is a daunting and humbling statement," Lodwick said.

Bryan Fletcher was second overall and Bill DeMong third. Each qualified for the Games.

Ski jumping trials today

Seven women ski jumpers will compete Sunday in Park City for U.S. Olympic spots and a bit of history. At least two of them will become part of the first women's Olympic ski jumping competition.

The U.S. has three spots for Sochi. At least two qualifiers will be determined in Park City. The third spot would go to world champion Sarah Henderson if she successfully completes rehab from knee surgery performed in August.
