At long last, Mikaela Shiffrin stands alone as the winningest skier in World Cup history.
Shiffrin broke Ingemar Stenmark’s long-standing record on Saturday with her 87th career victory in a World Cup race. Fittingly, the record-breaking run came in a slalom race—the 27-year-old American’s specialty—in an event in Åre, Sweden where she won her first ever World Cup race in 2012.
On Saturday, Shiffrin leapt out 0.69-second lead after her first run and managed to cruise to the win from there. She ended her second and final run in a time of 1:41.77, almost a full second clear of the next competitor.
