Mikaela Shiffrin gets her record 86th World Cup victory

Associated Press  

ARE, Sweden — Moments after winning her record-tying 86th World Cup race, Mikaela Shiffrin was asked by a Swedish broadcaster to directly address Ingemar Stenmark, the skiing standout who had promised to watch at home on television. It was Shiffrin’s fourth straight wire-to-wire win in World Cup giant slaloms since January. “The whole day I was trying not to focus on that.” Shiffrin’s 86th victory came in her 245th World Cup race, and on the fifth attempt to equal Stenmark’s record since she won her 85th race in January. Shiffrin also clinched the season-long World Cup giant slalom title to secure her 15th career crystal globe trophy. Making even more World Cup history Friday, Shiffrin’s 20th career victory in the giant slalom — six of them this season — matched the all-time women’s mark held by Vreni Schneider.
