Mikaela Shiffrin moves to within one win of Ingemar Stenmark's overall record

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 85th career World Cup race on Saturday, moving to within one of the overall record held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark

Mikaela Shiffrin celebrated with a shoulder wiggle and a bright smile Saturday after dominating another slalom race and moving to within one victory of the 34-year-old World Cup record of 86 wins.

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin breaks Lindsey Vonn’s record for World Cup Alpine victories, cementing her place among the greats in her sport. Shortly after Shiffrin finished the race, third-place finisher Wendy Holdener of Switzerland and runner-up Durr came over to hug her. The race took place at the resort near the Czech-Polish border where she had her World Cup debut as a 15-year-old almost 12 years ago. Shiffrin also won when the venue last hosted a World Cup race in 2019.

Shiffrin laid the foundation for her victory with a clean opening run, in which she had a fast start and already led her competitors by at least a quarter of a second at the first intermediate time.
