American ski queen Mikaela Shiffrin has been left full of emotion after matching Lindsey Vonn's women's World Cup skiing record with an 82nd win.
First, there was a scream of delight after a serious case of nerves that had been building inside her throughout the day.
"My dad used to be there and taking pictures. Most races these days I'll think about him and I'm able to kind of refocus," Shiffrin said at the Slovenian resort of Kranjska Gora."It was just before I ever won my first World Cup, he said, 'You better memorise the words of the national anthem, because if you ever win, you better sing it'.
"I was so nervous this run. I have a rash on my face I was so nervous," Shiffrin said. "I don't know why, maybe a little bit was because of 82. I just really wanted to ski well, and I did."
