Mikaela Shiffrin 7th in Cortina downhill; record chase on hold

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin's pursuit of a record-breaking 83rd World Cup victory is still on hold.

Shiffrin finished seventh, 0.39 seconds behind Slovenian winner Ilka Stuhec in a downhill Saturday on the course that will be used for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Shiffrin therefore remained tied with former teammate Lindsey Vonn for the women's record at 82 wins each.

Season-long downhill leader Sofia Goggia, who won Friday's race in Cortina, fell midway through her run but avoided injury.

Shiffrin finished fourth in the first of two downhills in Cortina on Friday after a slight error. In this race, she didn't appear to make any significant mistakes but just didn't have enough speed in a discipline that is far from her best.

Canadian Stephanie Fleckenstein was 35th, finishing 2.28 seconds behind Stuhec.

A super-G will complete the Cortina weekend on Sunday.

Stuhec, the 2017 and 2019 world champion in downhill, finished 0.26 ahead of Kajsa Vickhoff Lie and 0.34 ahead of Elena Curtoni.

Stuhec hadn't won a World Cup race since December 2018.

The Olympia delle Tofane course was shortened due to wind, removing the course's most characteristic section, the Tofana Schuss or "chute" between two walls of rock.

About a third of the course was eliminated.

Goggia lost control while landing a jump, got twisted around, slammed through a gate and slid down the mountain before quickly getting up and skiing down to the finish, where she waved to the crowd to say she was OK.

The safety air bag under Goggia's racing suit inflated during her crash, which may have helped soften her crash landing.

"I really just made an error. It wasn't a concentration lapse," Goggia said. "It went well in that nothing happened."

Goggia broke two
