ARE, Sweden : Mikaela Shiffrin dominated a women's giant slalom in Are on Friday to equal Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's all-time record of 86 World Cup wins and complete her season's hat-trick of crystal globes.
She was more than half a second clear of Canadian Valerie Grenier after the first leg and stretched her advantage in the second to beat Italy's Federica Brignone, who was fastest in that run, by 0.64. "I knew the GS globe was locked in before I raced so then I just wanted to push and kind of fight for it," said Shiffrin, who has now won six out of nine giant slaloms this season as well as world championship gold.
