Published March 11, 2023 4:16 AM

ARE, Sweden (AP) — American skier Mikaela Shiffrin took a big lead in the opening run of a women’s World Cup slalom as she positioned herself for a record-setting 87th career win. Shiffrin led second-place home favorite Anna Swenn Larsson by 0.69 seconds after the first run. Swiss skier Wendy Holdener trailed by 0.94 in third and was the last skier to finish within a second of Shiffrin’s lead. Shiffrin can break a tie with Ingemar Stenmark on the all-time overall winners list — between men and women. The second run was later Saturday. Shiffrin matched Stenmark’s mark of 86 wins by winning a giant slalom Friday.
