The two American skiers once shared the record of World Cup wins for women, before Shiffrin overtook Vonn. But how many globes has each of them won, and how do they stack up in terms of the number of medals secured at major competitions?Team USA’s alpine skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin holds the record of 100 World Cup wins, having tied and then surpassed Lindsey Vonn on 82.
The former reached 82 wins at 27 years and 302 days of age (after 233 races), while the latter was 33 years and 147 days old when she clinched her last World Cup victory (in 395 starts).
Shiffrin made her World Cup debut in 2011 and raced against Vonn until 2019, when the Vancouver 2010 Olympic gold medallist retired at the end of the season. The two have been competing in the World Cup together again since Vonn came out of retirement in November 2024.
The two global icons competed against each other at the PyeongChang 2018 giant slalom event (Shiffrin won gold, Vonn skied out in the second run), and in the Super G at the Are 2019 Worlds (Shiffrin gold, Vonn DNF).
Both skiers represented the Vail ski club during their career and they only shared the podium once in a World Cup: it happened on 19 January 2018 at the downhill event in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, when Vonn finished second behind Sofia Goggia, while Shiffrin placing third.”paraphrase and write news article”
