Mikaela Shiffrin is chasing Ingemar Stenmark once again.
After a break for the world championships, where she won gold in giant slalom and silvers in slalom and super-G, Shiffrin returns to the World Cup circuit this weekend in Kvitfjell, Norway. She is one win shy of tying Stenmark’s all-time record of 86 World Cup victories, a mark that has stood for 34 years.
Shiffrin is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and is closing in on her fifth overall title, which would be one short of the women’s record by Annemarie Moser-Proell.
