Mikaela Shiffrin is on the verge of history.

“I can take a little bit of weight of my shoulders,” Shiffrin said in Kvitfjell after moving into second place on the all-time women’s list, one behind Annemarie Moser-Pröll. “That was like the big, big goal for me this season.”

Now it's back to chasing Stenmark's record, and it's looking good. Three of Shiffrin's 19 victories in giant slalom came in her last three starts in the event, all wire-to-wire wins in January. It took until her 24th career start to get that first victory, but her win rate has soared since to 35% — 85 wins in 244 races.

She will turn 28 on Monday, two days before racing starts in the tiny principality tucked in the mountains between France and Spain.
