American skier Mikaela Shiffrin's pursuit of a record-breaking 83rd World Cup victory will go on for at least another day. Shiffrin finished fourth, half a second behind race winner Sofia Goggia, in a downhill Friday at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on the course that will be used for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Shiffrin remained tied with former teammate Lindsey Vonn for the women's record with 82 wins each. Two more races are scheduled in Cortina over the weekend, with another downhill on Saturday followed by a super-G on Sunday.

Goggia, who won gold and silver in downhill at the last two Olympics, respectively, finished 0.13 seconds ahead of two-time world champion Ilka Stuhec, and 0.36 ahead of Kira Weidle of Germany.

Shiffrin was faster than Goggia through the first three checkpoints but finished 0.50 behind. Shiffrin had some trouble landing a jump toward the end of her run, standing up to regain her balance.
