Mikaela Shiffrin signs off season in style with 88th World Cup victory in giant slalom at Soldeu

Mikaela Shiffrin signed off her historic season in style by winning the giant slalom at Soldeu to land a record-extending 88th World Cup win. The American great held a 0.62s lead after the first run in Andorra and she needed almost all of that on the second to squeak victory by 0.06s ahead of Norway’s Thea Louise Stjernesund, chasing her first ever World Cup win. Canada's Valerie Grenier was third.

Ad Victory ensured Shiffrin posted her best-ever overall World Cup tally (2206 points), with only Tina Maze's astonishing 2013 season (2414 points) ahead of her in the all-time rankings. She also moved clear of Lindsey Vonn for most podiums on the women's circuit with her 138th.
