Mikaela Shiffrin Passed Vonn I was a bit scared of that day

Exhausted and probably a little stunned, Mikaela Shiffrin leaned forward as her defeated rivals applauded her heartily in the target area. The american ski racer on Tuesday added another page to the annals of sports history with her triumph in the giant slalom at Kronplatz.

Shiffrin admitted in the winner's interview that she had some anxiety about that particular day because she feared her emotions would become irrational. In front of a pair of large, golden sunglasses, she hid her emotions.

She currently holds the single-most World Cup victories among alpine women with 83. Shiffrin and her fellow countrywoman Lindsey Vonn, who retired in 2019, had previously shared the top spot on the all-time list.

She currently leads her former teammate by one victory, and she already has her sights set on the next record. As a TV expert for Eurosport, former Olympic giant slalom champion Viktoria Rebensburg expressed her admiration for the performance by saying, "I'm really speechless with such a performance and can only take my hat off.".

"That amount is astounding. Vonn emphasized that this was the "next milestone" in Shiffrin's career.

"I hope Mikaela can take pleasure in such a fantastic accomplishment. She commended the 27-year-old Colorado native for "raising the bar for all upcoming skiers.".

Ingemar Stenmark is a competitor that Shiffrin keeps an eye on. If she maintains her current level of performance, this winter she should surpass Stenmark's previous record. With 86 World Cup victories, the Swede has a slight advantage over her.

On Wednesday, another giant slalom is anticipated at Plan de Corones. The overwhelming favorite this time around is Shiffrin, who has won the World Cup four times overall, twice at the Olympics, and six times overall.

Over the course of her 238 World Cup races, she has now won more than one-third of them, an incredible percentage. Shiffrin reflected on her victory on the edge of the Dolomites, saying, "It was just so great to drive here.

"Everything worked out just fine. She was anxious prior to the second race because she had taken the lead at the outset.

The outstanding performer admitted that it was still difficult for her to believe that she would be able to maintain her mental fortitude in the second round even after all these years. Her natural tendencies don't lean toward that.

On Tuesday, Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland, the defending world champion, finished in second place, 0 points, 45 seconds behind Shiffrin. Federica Brignone, an Italian, finished third in her home race with a time of 1 minute, 43 seconds.

Shiffrin arrived at the desired location, to their unison clapping. The technology expert sped off as though she had been cast from a single mold once more, leading to her next career milestone.
