Lindsey Vonn: Shiffrin's record-breaking is sign of progress

Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Lindsey Vonn was keeping track from afar when Mikaela Shiffrin matched her women’s World Cup record of 82 wins. Shiffrin won a giant slalom on Sunday in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, to draw even with Vonn. While Vonn retired four years ago when injuries cut her career short, the 27-year-old Shiffrin is still going strong. Shiffrin can now break Vonn’s mark in a night slalom scheduled for Flachau, Austria, on Tuesday.

Vonn offered her thoughts on Shiffrin’s record chase as told to AP Sports Writer Andrew Dampf.
