Mikaela Shiffrin secured her 67th World Cup win, and the first since the sudden death of her father earlier this year. She won the women’s giant-slalom event at Courchevel by a narrow .82 seconds.
Mikaela was overcome with emotions when she realized she won.
Warning- this video is a tear-jerker.

This victory ties her with Marcel Hirscher for 3rd all-time on the World Cup win list. She trails only Lindsey Vonn (82), and the great Ingemar Stenmark (86).
Congrats from all of us at Unofficial Networks to Mikaela!
