Mikaela Shiffrin earned another piece of World Cup history, the first alpine skier with $1 million US to top the season-ending race prize money list confirmed Monday.

Shiffrin's win in a giant slalom Sunday was her 13th World Cup victory since October and lifted her total prize money total race organizers to 964,200 Swiss francs ($1.04 million).

That set the all-time alpine World Cup record and moved her earnings above Marco Odermatt, whose giant slalom win Saturday in his last race of the season set a men's record with 941,200 Swiss francs ($1,017,000).

Shiffrin's previous best prize total was 886,000 Swiss francs ($958,000) in the 2018-19 season, when she also won the women's overall World Cup title.
