When the green lights up at the finish line, she looks around the finish area in disbelief. Soon after, she kneels down and buries her face. World Cup victory no. 87 is a fact. Shiffrin writes skiing history. A day she will never forget.
For weeks now, the entire ski world has been asking the same question: When will Mikaela Shiffrin equal Ingemar Stenmark’s record? Now she, who says records don’t mean much to her, has already surpassed the Swedish legend with two wins in 24 hours.
She wins the Are slalom in an outstanding way. Wendy Holdener again only has to admit defeat to Shiffrin. Despite a strong second run, Shiffrin wins by 0.92 seconds. Holdener takes his hat off to the new record holder at SRF: “I just called her ‘Champion’ and congratulated her. Finally I said: if I already have so many second and third places, it’s okay, because she was there.”
The day before, Shiffrin would not comment on the possibility of the 87th World Cup victory. Knowing full well that she can strike as the top favorite in the slalom on Saturday.
But she completely pushes that away, even saying in the SRF interview that she thinks it’s cool to have been nervous before a race where she couldn’t care less. The goal was to write sports history! But your reaction at the finish shows what this victory entails. But it is decisive for the emotions that followed this victory in the finish area.
Her family seemed very concerned about the possibility of this historic victory. And with a surprise visit, Shiffrin will never forget this race.
“I didn’t know my brother and sister-in-law were coming. I saw my mother but wondered who the two people in front of her were.” Only then did she realize who had traveled to Are before her. The fact that she had eye contact with them at the finish was decisive. “It’s moments like this that make this slalom remembered as one of the most special races I’ve ever ridden.”
Fortunately, the family was there. The day you surpassed Swedish legend Ingemar Stenmark should also be remembered in a special way. (dti)
