Mikaela Shiffrin matched Lindsey Vonn’s women’s World Cup skiing record with her 82nd win on Sunday
Shiffrin led from start to finish to win the giant slalom at Kranjska Gora in Slovenia by a large margin. She can now break Vonn’s mark in a night slalom scheduled for Flachau in Austria on Tuesday.
Shiffrin celebrated with a scream then bent over and rested her hands on her poles before kissing her skis in the awards ceremony. Already with eight wins this season, Shiffrin is also quickly approaching Ingemar Stenmark’s overall record – between men and women – of 86 victories. While the often-injured Vonn required 395 races for her 82 wins, Shiffrin has done it in just 233. And at the age of 27, Shiffrin could compete for several more years and win many more races.
