Mikaela Shiffrin is 100% the best of the History of the World Cup history.
The 100th record of Shiffrin, the victory of the World Cup in career, the victory of the Corpoire World Cup won a quest suspended by a serious accident in November.
Back in the race in his privileged Slalom event, Shiffrin kept and added in his first race advance to finish 0.61 seconds before Zrinka Ljutic in Sestriere, in Italy. The American teammate of Shiffrin, Paula Moltzan, finished third, 0.64 back.
Watch the Shiffrin prolongs the record with the 100th World Cup victory:
The American Mikaela Shiffrin won the female race in slalom at the Ski Resort Seastriere in Turin, Italy, to win her 100th World Cup victory. It is also its 155th appearance in the World Cup, which links the brand established by the Grande Stenmary Stenmark Swedish.
Shiffrin, 29, also equaled a record of the World Cup of all time for men and women, while his 155th Top 3 in career on the podium equaled the Grand Ingemar Stenmark.
Shiffrin crossed the finish line and took a long look at the dashboard showing his victory. She then looked at her left shoulder again with an expression of astonishment.
She lay down on the snow with her right hand in her helmet, and was helped at her feet by Moltzan who hugged her.
Shiffrin cried at the beginning when asked in an post-race interview what it meant after all that she had experienced in recent months.
“Everyone had been so kind and favorable. I am so grateful, thank you,” she said.
Look at the emotional overcome Shiffrin after a historic victory:
The American Mikaela Shiffrin thanked her fans and her teammates in an interview after the race after winning her 100th World Cup victory in Turin, Italy.
Shiffrin’s 99th victory was won exactly three months ago in a slalom in Gurgl, Austria.
The n ° 100 had been at clear view a week later when Shriffin crashed a giant slalom in Killington, Vermont, while racing quickly as a first -point leader.
The wounds she suffered during a tumultuous fall – a severe trauma of her oblique muscles and a deep perforation injury – put her away for several weeks and left an anxiety “similar to a SSPT “about the giant race slalom.
In two giant slaloms in Sestriere, she ranked 25th Friday and Saturday ended in front of the first 30 fastest runners in the first round for the first time since 2012.
Shiffrin did not show any signs of nerves with a second aggressive round towards victory, half a second completes faster than Ljitic which is a triple winner this season in the slaloms of the World Cup.
“Many things had to go directly in my direction to happen. But I did something good too,” said Shiffrin in tears.
Shiffrin and Stenmark are the two biggest records of the 58th anniversary in the history of the World Cup.
“She is much better than me. You can’t compare,” said Stenmark in an interview with the Associated Press two years ago.
His record of 86 World Cup victories was broken by Shiffrin in March 2023, almost 34 years after his last victory. Stenmark’s 86th victory – a giant slalom in Aspen, Colorado in February 1989 – was also his 155th and last podium result.
Shiffrin equaled the Stenmark count of the first 3 results in six starts. Sunday was his 278th World Cup race and the last Stenmark podium was at its 284th, according to the site ski-db.com.
