Mikaela Shiffrin’s win matched the overall record set by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark 34 years ago
American skier Mikaela Shiffrin won her record-tying 86th World Cup race Friday with victory in a giant slalom.The 27-year-old American protected her half-second lead from the first run and finished 0.64 seconds ahead of Federica Brignone.
It was Shiffrin’s fourth straight wire-to-wire win in World Cup giant slaloms since January. In that time, she also took gold in the event at last month’s world championships in Meribel, France. Shiffrin also clinched the season-long World Cup giant slalom title to secure her 15th career crystal globe trophy. She already won her fifth overall World Cup title and the slalom title this season.
Schneider got her wins between 1984 and 1992. The Swiss racer, like Shiffrin, also has Olympic and world championship gold medals in both giant slalom and slalom.
