• Shiffrin wins slalom to claim record-setting 87th win in Are
• American won by 0.92sec over Switzerland's Wendy Holdener

Mikaela Shiffrin could finally exhale after flying past the finish line and into sporting immortality.

The American star of the piste emphatically staked her claim as the greatest ever alpine skier on Saturday, taking first in a slalom for her 87th career World Cup win and eclipsing Ingemar Stenmark's record for career victories by a male or female skier.
