ZAGREB, Croatia - If Mikaela Shiffrin wins her 27th World Cup race in Tuesday’s slalom, she will match the career achievement of one of the biggest names in American ski racing history — Phil Mahre.
She would also match the women’s record of eight consecutive World Cup slaloms wins - and draw level with Swedish skiing great Ingemar Stenmark for the number of victories before turning 22 years old.
Not bad for someone who isn’t interested in records.
“She doesn’t pay attention to the records,” Shiffrin’s head coach Mike Day told The Associated Press on Monday.
