Mikaela Shiffrin won a giant slalom race in Kronplatz, Italy, on Tuesday, setting a women’s record with her 83rd career World Cup victory.
Shiffrin won a giant slalom race in the Italian resort of Kronplatz, beating runner-up Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland by 0.45 seconds for her ninth victory of the season. Her total is now one more than Vonn, the icon who preceded Shiffrin as the most dominant racer of all-time.
Shiffrin, 27, led Gut-Behrami by 0.13 seconds after Tuesday’s first run, then extended her lead on her second trip.Now, she will immediately have a chance to increase her total. Another giant slalom is scheduled for Wednesday in Kronplatz, and there are two slalom races this weekend in the Czech Republic.
Shiffrin turns 28 in March, and she is indeed closer to the end of her career than the beginning. But her 83rd win came in her 238th start, and because she made her World Cup debut just before she turned 16, she is already in her 13th season. She has piled up victories at a higher rate than either Stenmark and Vonn, and she would seemingly have years ahead of her to build on her total.
