The American skiing standout claimed a record-extending 105th World Cup victory after several of her top challengers went out during the opening run of a night race Tuesday. It wasn’t immediately clear if she was injured but she competed in the second run. Defending World Cup slalom champion Zrinka Ljutic and Olympic silver medalist Katharina Liensberger, the next two starters, went out midway down. Shiffrin earned her 68th World Cup slalom win. Women’s Alpine skiing at the winter Olympics will be held in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy – where Shiffrin won four medals in her four events at the 2021 world championships and where Lindsey Vonn holds the record of 12 World Cup victories.
