Mikaela Shiffrin quest for 86th World Cup win extended after downhill

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin finished tied for fifth in a World Cup downhill Saturday and had her quest for a record-tying 86th career victory extended by at least another day.

The race in Kvitfjell, Norway, was won by home favorite Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, who became the first Norwegian woman to win a downhill in the 56-year history of World Cup skiing.

The result, however, was enough for Shiffrin to lock up her fifth overall World Cup title. She leads former overall champion Lara Gut-Behrami by 795 points with seven races left.

"It's pretty wild, actually. The overall, or any season title, is always strange to explain how it feels on the day you win it when you don't win the race," Shiffrin said.

"The whole season the work has been amazing and it's quite special to, before the final races, have that secure."

Sofia Goggia finished 0.29 behind in second as the Italian secured the season-long downhill title again.

"I feel great, I mean, it's my fourth downhill globe, the third in a row, I'm really happy about that," Goggia said. "But I'm not so happy about the performance of today. I didn't ski that well, wasn't smooth as in the training runs."

Olympic champion Corinne Suter and two-time former world champion Ilka Stuhec placed third and fourth, respectively.

Shiffrin and Austrian skier Ramona Siebenhofer both finished 0.79 seconds behind Lie.

Shiffrin's next race is a super-G Sunday.

The American needs one victory to match Ingemar Stenmark 's total on the all-time overall winners list — between men and women. The Swede competed in the 1970s and 80s.

Shiffrin broke a tie on the all-time women's list with former American teammate Lindsey Vonn in January. Vonn had 82 wins when she retired in 2019.

Shiffrin previously won the
