Mikaela Shiffrin will have to wait for at least five more weeks before tying the World Cup record for most career wins with 86.

The American skier finished second in a slalom Sunday and remained one victory short of Ingemar Stenmark's total on the all-time overall winners list among men and women.

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 85th career World Cup race on Saturday, moving to within one of the overall record held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark.

And I don’t have a reason to be nervous if I achieve 86 or 87,“ Shiffrin said. “I don’t feel a lot of pressure to get this record.
