Alpine Skiing - FIS Alpine Ski World Cup - Mikaela Shiffrin Press Conference - Meribel, France - February 4, 2023 Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S. during the press conference REUTERS/Leonhard Foegeraway from equalling Ingemar Stenmark's decades-old mark of 86 World Cup victories but while she may displace the Swedish great in the record books the American said she cannot "surpass his legacy".
Shiffrin's slalom victory in the Czech resort of Spindleruv Mlyn on Jan. 28 put her on the brink of Stenmark's haul but she will not get the chance to set a new mark until after the Feb. 6-19 Alpine world championships. The 27-year-old, who last month secured her 83rd victory to surpass the women's record set by Lindsey Vonn, also played down suggestions she could be considered the 'Greatest Of All Time' .
"Ingemar. Maybe I can surpass him in numbers, but I can't surpass his legacy," Shiffrin told double Olympic gold medallist Tina Maze in an interview with Eurosport.Latest Updates
