FLACHAU, Austria (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin is set to continue her quest for a record-setting 83rd women’s Alpine skiing World Cup win next week. But her biggest idol sees even larger milestones coming up for the American. Marlies Raich is the Austrian standout who dominated women’s slalom under her maiden name Schild before retiring in 2014. She believes the the 27=year-old Shiffrin’s tally of victories will likely have reached a three-digit figure by the time she retires. Schild says Shiffrin can reach “100 or more” wins. Shiffrin and Raich share a special friendship since the American’s breakthrough at top-level racing in 2011.
