Shiffrin aces training, eyes Stenmark’s record
American skier Mikaela Shiffrin dominated downhill training in Norway on Wednesday ahead of what could become another record-breaking weekend.
Shiffrin is aiming for her 86th career World Cup victory to match the all-time mark set by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark in the 1970s and 80s.
Shiffrin is expected to have three chances this weekend, starting with a super-G on Friday, followed by a downhill the next day and a super-G Sunday.
The races in Kvitfjell, the resort that hosted the Alpine skiing events at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, mark Shiffrin’s return to World Cup racing after nearly five weeks.
