CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — American skier Mikaela Shiffrin’s pursuit of a record-breaking 83rd World Cup victory is still on hold. Shiffrin stands sixth 0.39 seconds behind leader Ilka Stuhec with other skiers still coming down during a downhill on the course that will be used for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Shiffrin therefore remained tied with former teammate Lindsey Vonn for the women’s record at 82 wins each. Season-long downhill leader Sofia Goggia fell midway through her run but did not appear injured. A super-G will complete the Cortina weekend on Sunday. Stuhec, the 2017 and 2019 world champion in downhill, stood 0.34 ahead of Elena Curtoni.
