CNN —After six weeks out of the sport, ski star Mikaela Shiffrin made a triumphant return from injury to win a record-equaling eighth World Cup slalom season title in Åre, Sweden, on Sunday. The win ties the American with Lindsey Vonn and Ingemar Stenmark, who both clinched eight crystal globes – the trophy for Alpine skiing World Cup season titles – in a single discipline. Austrian star Marcel Hirscher won eight overall season titles during his career, but not in a single discipline. It was also Shiffrin’s 96th World Cup win of her career, extending the overall record she broke back in 2023. Shiffrin rushed to his side at the hospital and was with him when he woke up from surgery.

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — There’s something about the 2026 Olympics course in Cortina that brings the best out of American skier Jacqueline Wiles. Ten years ago, Wiles scored her first World Cup points at the Italian resort with a 15th in a downhill. “I’ve always loved Cortina,” Wiles said. A week after her 2018 result, Wiles crashed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and missed nearly two full years with serious injuries to her left leg. Wright returned to the finish area in time to celebrate Wiles’ result.

BAREFOOT AND WRAPPED in a robe in a hushed Paris hotel suite, 26-year-old entrepreneur and reality star Kylie Jenner is seated at her altar: a vanity. Her longtime hair and makeup artists—who are also her confidantes—hover around her like discreet, black-garbed hummingbirds, making imperceptible tweaks to her long dark hair and flawless skin. It’s several hours before she has to be at the Acne fashion show, but for Jenner, getting ready is half, if not the whole, point. But it’s bigger than that: Do glam, be glam, and you’re ready to conquer the world. No one has profited more from the concept of glam than Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the siblings and the creator of a cosmetics empire that has been valued at over $1 billion.

[1/5] Alpine Skiing - FIS Alpine Ski World Cup - Women's Giant Slalom - Soldeu, Andorra - March 19, 2023 Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S celebrates with the globe trophy after winning the women's Slalom REUTERS/Albert GeaMarch 19 (Reuters) - Mikaela Shiffrin extended her record to 88 World Cup victories after dominating the season-ending giant slalom in Soldeu on Sunday to win her 14th event of the season. Victory also gave the American her 138th podium to break the women's record she shared with compatriot Lindsey Vonn after finishing third in Saturday's slalom. Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark holds the men's record for most podiums with 155. Shiffrin, who broke Stenmark's record of 87 wins earlier this month, had already won the slalom and giant slalom titles along with the overall crystal globe. Pre-race favourites, including last year's Olympic champion Sara Hector of Sweden, Italy's Federica Brignone and Saturday's slalom winner Petra Vlhova, did not finish their first run after crashing through gates.
Mikaela Shiffrin broke Lindsey Vonn's all-time alpine skiing World Cup record in Kronplatz, Italy. Shiffrin then mocked the stigma around "talking about my period" in tongue-in-cheek social media posts. After winning her 84th World Cup title in Kronplatz, Italy, Wednesday, the newly crowned winningest World Cup champion in women's alpine skiing history was radically honest about being at "an unfortunate time of my monthly cycle" for the race. Shiffrin competes in a 2022 women's World Cup slalom in Flachau, Austria. In the Twitter comments, Shiffrin further explained the many ways that having one's period can impact athletes ahead of major competitions.
Unstoppable Shiffrin extends her record to 84 wins

Shiffrin, 27, is now only two wins short of the absolute record of 86 wins racked up by Swedish men's slalom great Ingemar Stenmark in the 1970s and 1980s. The victory took Shiffrin's career World Cup giant slalom tally to 19 wins, one short of retired Swiss great Vreni Schneider's women's record of 20 in the discipline. A fifth large crystal globe for the overall World Cup winner also looks inevitable, with Shiffrin now on 1,517 points to Swiss rival Lara Gut-Behrami's 906. She had explained after Wednesday's first leg that breaking the record had made it hard to switch off. "This season I was thinking if I could get four wins, five wins, maybe six, then that's the most I could possibly get.

A day after capturing her 83rd career win in Kronplatz to surpass American compatriot Lindsey Vonn's record for the most women's World Cup victories, Shiffrin turned her sights on Stenmark's mark of 86. With three more wins Shiffrin would statistically become the most successful Alpine skier ever, but for the 27-year-old, the title of greatest will remain open to debate. "If you know anything about ski racing at all and even if they don't they know about Ingemar Stenmark. "I don't think that is something that I can surpass, I don't know if I ever will." The slalom is Shiffrin's signature event with 51 wins, the most for any Alpine skier in any discipline.
Mikaela Shiffrin Is the New Queen of Ski Racing Wins

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 83rd victory in a World Cup race on Tuesday. Mikaela Shiffrin, once a precocious teenager racing on the icy slopes of Vermont, is now Alpine skiing’s all-time wins queen. Shiffrin won a giant slalom race in Kronplatz, Italy, on Tuesday for her 83rd victory in a World Cup race. The total pushed her past the previous record-holder for women’s Alpine skiing wins, retired fellow American Lindsey Vonn.
"Everybody is doing their job and my only job is to try to make some good turns and ski fast. Shiffrin burst onto the international racing scene as an 18-year-old in 2014 when she became the youngest slalom champion in Olympic history. "When people said you're going to break record, you're a 'phenom,' all these words that people used. After breaking fellow American Lindsey Vonn's record with a giant slalom win at the Italian resort of Kronplatz, Shiffrin is now just three wins away from matching the all-time record set by men's slalom great Ingemar Stenmark. Asked about potentially breaking Stenmark's record, she immediately turned to praise the Swede, whose 86 World Cup victories came in the 1970s and 1980s.
The victory puts the 27-year-old just three wins away from the all-time record held by Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who captured 86 World Cup wins between 1974 and 1989. Eclipsing Vonn is the latest history-making achievement by the twice Olympic gold medallist and four-time overall World Cup champion, who could potentially end her career with more than 100 victories on the ski racing circuit. She ended that season as the Olympic, World Cup and world champion in slalom and her profile grew considerably as media appearances and sponsorships began to pile up for the amiable 18-year-old star. A powerful and precise skier, Shiffrin is the only athlete to win World Cups in all six disciplines - downhill, super-G, alpine combined, giant slalom, slalom, and parallel. Her mettle intact, she went on to win her fourth overall World Cup title later that year.
