After matching Lindsey Vonn’s record for most career women’s World Cup skiing wins earlier this month, Mikaela Shiffrin toppled the all-time mark with her 83rd career victory on Tuesday in Kronplatz, Italy.
Shiffrin broke the tie with the fellow American with a dominant performance in giant slalom. After posting the fastest first run, the 27-year-old went on to lead from start to finish, ending the event 0.45 seconds ahead of 2021 world champion Lara Gut-Behrami and 1.43 seconds clear of Italy’s Federica Brignone.
Speaking after the results were made final, a relieved Shiffrin was at a loss for words.
