    Mikaela Shiffrin, 27, won her 87th World Cup race on Saturday by hundredths of a second, breaking the overall career World Cup victory record.

    With this victory, Shiffrin cements her place as one of the greatest skiers — and athletes — of all time.

    Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark set the previous record for career race wins on the alpine skiing World Cup at age 32 in 1989. Shiffrin tied this record Friday before breaking it Saturday to become the winningest alpine skier in history.

    If she stays healthy and keeps racing, she could top 100 World Cup wins by the end of her career.
