It seems almost every time Mikaela Shiffrin steps out onto the slopes, she makes more skiing history. And on Sunday, the American skier broke yet another record with her 156th podium finish as she finished third in the slalom in Åre, Sweden.
With that third-place finish, Shiffrin now has the most World Cup podiums of all time, surpassing the record set by Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark, who competed in the 1970s and 80s.
Shiffrin, who recently became the first downhill skier to reach 100 World Cup wins, now holds so many records that she admitted it was difficult to keep track of them all.
“There are so many discussions about different numbers,” she said afterwards, per the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
Austria’s Katharina Truppe came away with the victory in Åre to win her first World Cup title.
