us ski star shiffrin leads world cup slalom after 1st run and closes in on career win no 99

Mikaela Shiffrin is aiming for her 100th career World Cup victory in North America. She might achieve this milestone at her home race in Killington, Vermont, where a giant slalom and a slalom will take place next weekend. Shiffrin, who earned her 99th victory in the Austrian Alps this season, honed her skills at Burke Mountain Academy near Killington. After Killington, the 16-day North American World Cup tour continues with two giant slaloms in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, and a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Shiffrin, who overtook Ingemar Stenmark's record in March 2023 with her 87th win, acknowledges the pressure but hopes to perform well in front of the home crowd. No other skier has won more than 86 World Cup races.
