Mikaela Shiffrin: Record-breaking skier thought Lindsey Vonn would beat Ingmar Stenmark’s landmark first

CNN  

CNN — US skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin hadn’t anticipated moving into the greatest-of-all-time conversation. Instead, the record-breaking skier thought that fellow American Lindsey Vonn would have been the athlete to challenge Ingemar Stenmark’s landmark of 86 World Cup wins. Shiffrin broke the overall World Cup wins record – that had been set 34 years ago by skiing legend Stenmark – earlier this month after winning the slalom in Åre, Sweden. Speaking to CNN’s Coy Wire earlier this month, the men’s Alpine Ski World Cup downhill winner said: “She is the goat in the skiing world but she is also the goat in relationships – so for me it is amazing.” The 30-year-old Norwegian added: “I am just lucky to be able to share my experiences with her and I think she’s feeling the same and it makes it easier for us to be calm in the process and understanding each other’s way of handling different situations.” ‘Pretty hard to comprehend’ Speaking on her season, Shiffrin reflected: “I did not expect that I would be resetting the all-time wins record, honestly, in my career, let alone this season. With Sunday’s appearance on the podium, Shiffrin passed Vonn’s women’s podium record, and left her 17 behind Swedish skiing legend Ingemar Stenmark’s all-time mark of 155 podiums The American’s remarkable season also saw her top skiing’s prize money standings – for both men and women – with Shiffrin earning $1.05 million.
