Mikaela Shiffrin Breaks Lindsey Vonn’s World Cup Skiing Wins Record

After matching Lindsey Vonn’s record for most career women’s World Cup skiing wins earlier this month, Mikaela Shiffrin toppled the all-time mark with her 83rd career victory on Tuesday in Kronplatz, Italy.

Shiffrin broke the tie with the fellow American with a dominant performance in giant slalom. After posting the fastest first run, the 27-year-old went on to lead from start to finish, ending the event 0.45 seconds ahead of 2021 world champion Lara Gut-Behrami and 1.43 seconds clear of Italy’s Federica Brignone.

Speaking after the results were made final, a relieved Shiffrin was at a loss for words.
