This Friday, Mikaela Shiffrin won the Are giant slalom in Sweden. The American thus equals Ingemar Stenmark’s record, with this 86th victory in the World Cup.
Mikaela Shiffrin enters a little more into the legend of alpine skiing. This Friday followingnoon, the American, following setting the fastest time in the first run, won the Are giant slalom in Sweden. A victory far from trivial insofar as the skier brings her total to 86 successes in the World Cup. Or as much as a certain Ingemar Stenmark. For a total of 34 years, the Swede held this record. Now, Mikaela Shiffrin has joined him. And might even exceed it quite quickly, since the American is now only 27 years old. Beyond this particularly prestigious record, the star continues an exceptional season.
Worley recovers following this second round
Now, in this exercise, the skier has twelve successes, the title of world champion in the specialty without forgetting a fifth big crystal globe that she had already secured. This Friday, Shiffrin, who will turn 28 in just three days, finished ahead of Italian Federica Brignone. The Transalpine, thanks to the best time of this second round, climbed from fourth to second place. As for the podium of the day, it is completed by the Swedish Sara Hector, sixth in the first race. On the side of the French contingent, only two representatives competed in this second round. It went badly for Coralie Frasse Sombet, who did not finish this race. On the other hand, Tessa Worley, ninth at the end of the first act, rose to fifth place overall.
