American skier Mikaela Shiffrin set the outright World Cup record for most career victories with 87 by winning a slalom Saturday.
"Pretty hard to comprehend," Shiffrin said about the record.
"My brother and sister-in-law are here and I didn't know they were coming, that makes this so special," Shiffrin said. Shiffrin dominated the first run and posted the fifth-fastest time in the second to beat Swiss skier Wendy Holdener by 0.92 seconds. "The best feeling is to ski on the second run when of course you want to win, you have a lead so you have to be sort of be smart but also, I just wanted to be fast, too, and ski the second run like its own race," Shiffrin said.Shiffrin has already locked up her fifth overall championship and the discipline titles in slalom and GS.
