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

Mikaela Shiffrin matched Lindsey Vonn’s mark for most career women’s World Cup skiing victories with her 82nd career win on Sunday.

Shiffrin clinched the record-tying mark with a victory in giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. Entering her second and final run with 0.24-second advantage, the 27-year-old blasted through the course with remarkable precision to beat out second-place finisher Federica Brignone of Italy by a comfortable 0.77 seconds. Switzerland’s Lara Gut-Behrami rounded out the podium, 0.97 seconds behind the American.

When Shiffrin reached the finish line, she unleashed a celebratory scream to cap off her historic achievement.
