Mikaela Shiffrin has finally returned to the World Cup circuit following a traumatic injury during a run in November. The fall during her giant slalom run at Killington left her with a punctured oblique and severe muscle trauma in her abdomen.
In 2015, Lindsey Vonn achieved the most World Cup wins among women, her 63 surpassing Annemarie Moser-Pröll of Austria, who previously held the title for 35 years. By 2018, Vonn had the second-most World Cup wins of both men and women at 82 titles. The only person to have a higher count at the time was Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who retired in 1989 with 86 wins.
Every year, Vermont's Killington World Cup attracts almost 40,000 viewers.
It's one of the only races where athletes say they can hear the fans from the top of the course, and those fans, who would come from all different parts of the world, had plenty to cheer for this time around.
Mikaela Shiffrin has 98 wins, more than any ski racer in the history of the sport, and she is chasing her 100th world cup win as the 2024-25 season begins. The first two races kicked off on Oct. 26-27 for both men and women.
