Congratulations to Mikaela Shiffrin who secured her 98th career Alpine skiing World Cup victory and 8th reindeer (winner at Levi receives a reindeer) after taking the top spot at the annual slalom event in Levi, Finland.
Excellent to see Shiffrin back in winning form after placing 5th overall at the season opener giant slalom race on October 26th. With her win in Finland, Shiffrin now has 12 more World Cup wins than any other skier in history!
