Mikaela Shiffrin gets historic 100th World Cup race win and ties record for most podiums; Paula Moltzan finishes third

‘‘A lot of things had to go right in my direction for this to happen. But I did something right, too,‘’ a tearful Shiffrin said minutes after the race.

Shiffrin and Stenmark are the two greatest record setters in the World Cup’s 58-year history.

‘‘She’s much better than I was. You cannot compare,‘’ Stenmark said in an interview with The Associated Press two years ago.

His record of 86 World Cup wins was broken by Shiffrin in March 2023, almost 34 years after his last win. Stenmark’s 86th win — a giant slalom at Aspen, Colorado in February 1989 — also was his 155th and last podium result.

Shiffrin matched Stenmark’s tally of top-3 results in six fewer starts. Sunday was her 278th World Cup race and Stenmark’s last podium was in his 284th, according to the ski-db.com site.

Shiffrin’a injury absence means she is unlikely to add to her eight career titles in the season-long World Cup slalom standings. Even with 100 race points Sunday, she is just sixth and trailing leader Ljutic by 163 with two races left: March 9 in Aare, Sweden, and the season-ending March 27 race in Sun Valley.
