Mikaela Shiffrin secured a record-tying sixth women’s overall World Cup skiing title by holding off a challenge from emerging German rival Emma Aicher in the final race of the season Wednesday in Norway.<\/p>\n

Shiffrin needed only to finish in the top 15 of a giant slalom and the American standout secured that before Aicher even began her second run.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old American matched Austrian downhill great Annemarie Moser-Pr\u00f6ll, who won her six titles in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Moser-Pr\u00f6ll won five straight titles from 1971-75 then a sixth in 1979. Shiffrin won three straight from 2017-19, then back-to-back titles in 2022 and ’23.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Vonn is third on the women’s list with four overall titles.<\/p>\n

Marcel Hirscher leads the men’s list with eight overall titles.<\/p>\n

It’s been another stellar season for Shiffrin, who claimed the third Olympic gold<\/span> of her career by dominating the slalom at the Milan Cortina Games.<\/p>\n

Shiffrin also won nine of the 10 World Cup slaloms this season and has a record 110 victories across all disciplines – by far the most in the World Cup by any man or woman. Ingemar Stenmark is next best with 86 wins in the 1970s and ’80s.<\/p>\n

Last month, Shiffrin told CBS News that winning her third Olympic gold medal “does feel different.”<\/p>\n

“Every single experience has been wildly different,”\u00a0the 30-year-old<\/span>\u00a0said, reflecting on her Olympic career that now includes four total medals.<\/p>\n

Shiffrin’s father,\u00a0Jeff Shiffrin<\/span>, unexpectedly died in 2020 at the age of 65.<\/p>\n

Her win in the women’s slalom is the first time Shiffrin has won an Olympic medal since his death.<\/p>\n

“Winning an Olympic medal without him here was terrifying to me before I knew that it was. In Beijing, I didn’t know I was scared of that,” Shiffrin admitted.<\/p>\n
