After equaling Ingemar Stenmark’s once seemingly unattainable record at the site of her first World Cup victory with her 86th celebration, today in Are, Mikaela Shiffrin can become the absolute record holder of alpine skiing herself.
In Friday’s slalom in Sweden, the American already wrote history, to which she can add a new chapter in Saturday’s slalom. Mikaela Shiffrin in Ares is attacking the 87th victory in the World Cup, which will make her the sole owner of the record for the number of victories among the elite of alpine skiing. But even if the 27-year-old from Vail could not succeed this time in Stenmark’s homeland, she still has a chance in the season finale in Solde, Andorra.
At 10:30 a.m Ares the tenth slalom of the winter is opened by Wendy Holdener, Ana Bucik will start right after her. The first star of the white slopes, Mikaela Shiffrin, wears number 5. Among the 56 female skiers from 16 countries, there is Neja Dvornik (No. 29) from Slovenia at the start.
