It’s a matter of if, rather then when, Mikaela Shiffrin will become the most successful alpine skier of all-time as she returns to World Cup action this week.

Prior to the World Championships, Shiffrin broke Lindsey Vonn’s record of the most World Cup wins for a female skier, and she is now just one victory away from equalling Ingemar Stenmark’s benchmark for both men and women.

Ad For 34 years, Stenmark’s 86 wins has been targeted by the likes of Vonn and Marcel Hirscher, but neither of them were able to surpass it.
