Mikaela Shiffrin, the American skiing sensation, is on the cusp of history as she prepares to compete in the slalom in Flachau, Austria. With her recent victory in Slovenia, Shiffrin equaled Lindsey Vonn’s record of 82 World Cup wins and is now poised to surpass it.
Her impressive form has seen her win six of her last seven races, with her only blip being a sixth-placed finish in the giant slalom in Slovenia. However, she quickly bounced back with a record-equaling victory the next day.

Shiffrin’s success is a testament to her dedication and skill, with the 27-year-old now just four wins behind Ingemar Stenmark’s general record of 86 wins.
Her victory in Croatia last week was a masterclass, with Shiffrin declaring it the best skiing of her life. With her confidence high, it seems only a matter of time before she secures her 83rd World Cup win. Shiffrin has a stellar record in Flachau, having won the iconic slalom four times previously, most recently in 2021.
As she takes to the slopes on Tuesday, all eyes will be on her to see if she can make history once again. Shiffrin’s ability to perform under pressure is unparalleled, and her recent form suggests that she is unstoppable.
With her sights set on the top step of the podium, Shiffrin is ready to etch her name in the record books once more. Will she be able to make it 83 World Cup wins and cement her status as one of the greatest skiers of all time? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Mikaela Shiffrin is a force to be reckoned with.
