CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — American skier Mikaela Shiffrin’s pursuit of a record-breaking 83rd World Cup victory will go on for at least another day. Shiffrin finished half a second behind winner Sofia Goggia in fourth place in a downhill on the course that will be used for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Shiffrin remained tied with former teammate Lindsey Vonn for the women’s record with 82 wins each. Two more races are scheduled for Cortina over the weekend. Goggia finished 0.13 seconds ahead of two-time world champion Ilka Stuhec and 0.36 ahead of Kira Weidle. Shiffrin was faster than Goggia through the first three checkpoints but finished 0.50 behind.
