Mikaela Shiffrin ties Lindsey Vonn’s women’s World Cup record with giant slalom victory | CBC Sports

Mikaela Shiffrin matched Lindsey Vonn’s women’s World Cup skiing record with her 82nd win Sunday.

Shiffrin led from start to finish to win a giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, and can now break Vonn’s mark in a night slalom scheduled for Flachau, Austria, on Tuesday.

Already with eight wins this season, Shiffrin is also quickly approaching Ingemar Stenmark’s overall record — between men and women — of 86 victories.

Vonn retired four years ago when injuries ended her pursuit of Stenmark’s record.

Canada’s Valérie Grenier, who won gold in Saturday’s giant slalom, finished sixth in Sunday’s event.
