Shiffrin sets another win record, Canada's Grenier ends season with giant slalom bronze

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 21st career giant slalom at the World Cup Finals Sunday as the American standout ended the season with yet another record.

The victory moved Shiffrin past Vreni Schneider, a week after matching the Swiss skier's mark of 20 World Cup GS victories. The American has won seven of the last eight events and took the GS world title last month.

The overall record, between men and women, is held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark, who won 46 giant slaloms in the 1970s and 80s.

"I don't know, you guys tell me," Shiffrin said with a laugh when she was asked about possible next records in a course-side interview in Soldeu, Andorra conducted by her boyfriend and World Cup downhill champion, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.

"Just keep moving right along," added Shiffrin, who secured the overall, slalom and GS titles this season and extended the all-time record for most career wins to 88.

With the sun beaming down on the Avet course, Shiffrin held on to her a first-run lead to edge Thea Louise Stjernesund by 0.06 seconds, clocking a combined time of one minute 55.88 seconds. The Norwegian earned her first career podium.

Canadian skier Valerie Grenier was third in 1:56.08, trailing Shiffrin by 0.20.

After Kilde asked her about plans to improve for next season, Shiffrin quipped: "We can discuss that later, in private."

Shiffrin also set a personal best of 2,206 World Cup points from 31 starts this season, two points more than her tally from 2018-19, when she competed in 26 races.

Only one skier secured more points in a single season: Slovenian great Tina Maze ended her 2012-13 campaign on 2,414.
