Mikaela Shiffrin secured the Slalom Crystal Globe by earning 980 points out of a possible 1000 in the Alpine Ski World Cup Slalom season, achieving nine wins and one second-place finish. The Swiss duo of Camille Rast (538 points) and Wendy Holdener (498 points) finished in second and third place, respectively.
The 31-year-old US skier has made history as the first woman to win nine Slalom races in a single winter season. This marks the second time she has reached ten Slalom podiums, achieving this feat during the 2022-2023 winter season. No other skier has accomplished ten podium finishes in Slalom within a season.
Mikaela Shiffrin claimed in Spindleruv Mlyn her ninth Slalom Crystal Globe, which is the most in any event by any skier, surpassing Lindsey Vonn’s eight Downhill Globes and Ingemar Stenmark’s eight Giant Slalom and eight Slalom titles.
On March 24, 2026, Mikaela Shiffrin secured another dominant victory in the last Slalom event of the season at the Alpine Ski World Cup Finals in Hafjell. This win marked her 110th career World Cup victory.
She has won 73 Slalom World Cup events. In Levi, in 2019, Mikaela surpassed Ingemar Stenmark's record of 40 Slalom wins, making her the winningest Slalom skier of all time.
In Schladming in 2022, Mikaela Shiffrin won her 47th World Cup Slalom event, breaking the record for most World Cup victories in a single discipline set by Ingemar Stenmark (Giant Slalom, 46) in 1989.
Mikaela Shiffrin won the Overall Alpine Ski World Cup for a sixth time (in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2026). Only Marcel Hirscher (8) and Annemarie Moser-Pröll (6) have won the Overall World Cup at least six times. She goes past Lindsey Vonn as the American with the most Big Globes to her name.
Shiffrin has won 18 Crystal Globes: 6 Overall, 9 in Slalom, 2 in Giant Slalom, and 1 in Super-G. Only Lindsey Vonn and Marcel Hirscher have won more, with 20 each.
Mikaela Shiffrin secured the gold medal in the Women's Slalom event at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. It’s Shiffrin’s third Olympic victory, the second one in the discipline. In 2014, Shiffrin won gold in slalom at Sochi. Shiffrin is the second skier, after the Swiss legend Vreni Schneider, to win two Olympic slalom titles.
