Mikaela Shiffrin breaks alpine skiing World Cup record with 87th victory

Mikaela Shiffrin's record-setting winter continued Saturday when she became the winningest skier of all time. With her 87th win, she now holds the record for most World Cup victories.

Shiffrin won her 86th career World Cup just one day prior, in Åre, Sweden, by 0.64 seconds over Federica Brigone of Italy in giant slalom, which tied her with Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark for the most wins by a male or female alpine skier in history. “She’s much better than I was … I could never have been so good in all disciplines,” Stenmark, 66, told the Associated Press.
