America's Mikaela Shiffrin finished runner-up to Germany's Lena Durr in a slalom Sunday, the last World Cup race before the world championships, and remained one victory short of Ingemar Stenmark's total on the all-time overall winners list among men and women.
United States' Mikaela Shiffrin celebrates after completing an alpine ski, women's World Cup slalom, in Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic, on Jan. 29, 2023. Mikaela Shiffrin was quick to take the positives after realizing she had to wait for at least five more weeks before tying the World Cup record for most career wins with victory No. 86.
Even though it didn't happen Sunday, Shiffrin has returned to winning races at a similar pace to that of the 2018-19 season. She racked up a record 17 victories that year, and has already picked up 11 wins from 23 starts in the current season, including three in the past six days. "It's just like every race of the season, trying to take it all in and enjoy -- enjoy my skiing, enjoy when the other athletes are skiing better. Because there is always something to learn from that."
The women's record for most titles in any discipline is held by Vonn, who won eight crystal globes as the best downhill skier of the season. "I felt like the first run I skied very well, and I actually skied quite well in the second as well," Shiffrin said. "And six-tenths is actually not so much time. Lena has been strong all season and she deserves to win."
