Mikaela Shiffrin

American alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin has broken the career record for most World Cup race wins. She has now won more races than any other skier in history ...

I love to have my own privacy, but I also feel like that ends up hurting the potential for athletes to grow up in the sport and to enjoy it the way I've been able to. And that's something that kind of happened, it kind of just happened in ski racing. It wasn't something that we had to specifically fight for in my career. And really, in the end, it allows other athletes to get more resources to do what I've been able to do through my career. It's not on the level where athletes are able to make enough money to actually live their lives based on their careers. The more you actually win, the more you realize how much work and effort it takes to win and to stay there. If I for instance was based in Europe, I wouldn't be able to go to the grocery store without getting stopped five to 10 times. If you let yourself get away with a lower standard of skiing, somebody else is going to come catch you and beat you probably consistently. That's going to come up and catch you in the next race. She said the day-in-day-out work of training happens all year, "and you dream about the race wins. This victory came 12 years to the day after Shiffrin's first World Cup race in the Czech Republic at age 15. Shiffrin tied this record Friday before breaking it Saturday to become the winningest alpine skier in history.

Mikaela Shiffrin needed only 11 seasons to get record 87 World Cup wins. Her wins have come across every discipline, too, in speed and technical events.

Shiffrin has been open about how unmoored she was by her grief, and she remains surrounded by memories of him. And with her 87th win behind her, the weight has been lifted. As Shiffrin closed in first on Vonn and then on Stenmark, she couldn’t go anywhere without being asked about the records. She made her World Cup debut at 15 and won her first World Cup race at 17. Shiffrin dropped to a crouch after she crossed the finish and buried her head in her knees, taking a few seconds to let the magnitude of the moment sink in. "When I was in the start gate for the second run, I still felt nervous," Shiffrin said. And unlike many skiers, who excel in either the speed or the technical events, Shiffrin has won across every discipline. The win was Shiffrin’s 13th of the season, second only to the record 17 races she won in 2019. Sweden had two women in the top 10 Saturday, and Sara Hector was third in the giant slalom Friday. -- over the last couple of days, but he was not in Are to see his record fall. Stenmark’s last World Cup win came in Aspen, Colo., the state where Shiffrin grew up and still makes her off-season home. Just as she did Friday, Shiffrin built a big lead -- 0.69 seconds -- in the first run, with only two skiers within a second of her.
