History beckons for Mikaela Shiffrin on Friday when the American skier competes in one of her best events.
Shiffrin is seeking a record-tying 86th win on the World Cup skiing circuit, a number that would equal Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark’s mark from the 1970s and 80s.
Stenmark has said he does not plan to be in Are, preferring to watch on television, but he gave Shiffrin an enthusiastic endorsement in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “I can take a little bit of weight of my shoulders,” Shiffrin said in Kvitfjell after moving into second place on the all-time women’s list, one behind Annemarie Moser-Pröll. “That was like the big, big goal for me this season.”
And the Swedish resort of Are could also provide a boost. That’s where a 17-year-old Shiffrin first won a World Cup race, in slalom in December 2012. She will turn 28 on Monday, two days before racing starts in the tiny principality tucked in the mountains between France and Spain.
