Mikaela Shiffrin ties Lindsey Vonn's women's World Cup record with giant slalom victory

Mikaela Shiffrin matched Lindsey Vonn's women's World Cup skiing record with her 82nd win Sunday.

Shiffrin led from start to finish to win a giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, and can now break Vonn's mark in a night slalom scheduled for Flachau, Austria, on Tuesday.

Already with eight wins this season, Shiffrin is also quickly approaching Ingemar Stenmark's overall record — between men and women — of 86 victories.

Vonn retired four years ago when injuries ended her pursuit of Stenmark's record.

Canada's Valérie Grenier, who won gold in Saturday's giant slalom, finished sixth in Sunday's event.
