U.S. skier Mikaela Shiffrin now stands alone atop women's alpine skiing, after claiming World Cup win no. 83 on the Kronplatz mountain in northern Italy on Tuesday. Shiffrin shattered the record she shared with fellow American Lindsey Vonn after tying Vonn's 82 wins earlier this month.

Shiffrin, 27, seized the lead in her first run, pipping two Olympic medalists — the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami and the Italian Federica Brignone — by 0.13 seconds and 0.27 seconds, respectively.
