Shiffrin's record hunt is "not over yet"

Their journey to the next historic sporting victory looked playfully easy. Shiffrin danced through the bars with her usual elegance and ultimately put almost a second between herself and second-placed Swiss Wendy Holdener. Local hero Anna Swenn Larsson came third.

With her 87th World Cup victory, she is the sole number one on the leaderboard, ahead of Ingemar Stenmark. “Racing is nice after an incredible day like yesterday. “I don’t feel any pressure, I might get a little nervous before the second round,” Shiffrin said after the first round ORF said.

Family was there Your prediction should come true. “My heart was beating like crazy before the second run. “That was strange,” said the 27-year-old, referring to current crises. “I asked myself why I was nervous. The whole world is at stake and nothing is at stake in this race. I was still nervous and that’s exciting for me because it means there’s real motivation.”

The relatives came as surprise congratulators. “My brother and sister-in-law shouldn't be here, I don't know how they did it,” said Shiffrin, who hardly found words for her next milestone: “It's hard to describe - and it's not over yet. “

There are no superlatives She is now heading to the World Cup final as the big favorite. It was the 28th win of the season for the American, who turns 13 on Monday. She celebrated six of them in her flagship discipline, slalom. She has long since secured her fifth overall World Cup victory, and Shiffrin can no longer take away the small crystal balls for the best slalom and giant slalom rider of the winter. She also won three more World Cup medals in February, including gold in the giant slalom.
