Here are the key takeaways: Mikaela Shiffrin capped her historic season by setting more records. Having already broken the record for most career World Cup wins on March 11, the American star put the finishing touch on an incredible season by winning the closing women's giant slalom on Sunday.
Shiffrin's 21st career giant slalom victory established a new women's record for that discipline and boosted her career win total across all disciplines to 88.
It also pushed Shiffrin's World Cup earnings this season to $1.04 million US — the most in alpine history. Shiffrin's 2022-23 season was one for the books.
