Mikaela Shiffrin closes in on 100 World Cup victories with latest win – pretty soon, she'll have more reindeer than Santa

Mikaela Shiffrin of Team United States in action during the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Women's Slalom on November 16, 2024.

Skiing great Mikaela Shiffrin scooped up her 98th World Cup win at the annual slalom in Levi, Finland over the weekend – and bagged herself her eight reindeer as a reward.

The 29-year-old skier already holds the most World Cup wins of any alpine skier in history, and won the slalom – a ski race down a winding course marked by poles – by just 79 hundredths of a second over second-placed Austrian Katharina Liensberger in combined times from two runs in only the second race of the season.
