I'm gonna assume the stats on FIS own website are correct, but who knows lol
I've also heard 232 before, but never 271

She actually doesn't. 246 starts and 87 victories, vs Stenmarks 230 starts and 86 victories.
That's not to say that her achievement isn't insanely incredible.
PS: Her World Championships stats are slightly better and her Olympic stats slightly worse than Ingemar's.

She's a 7 time world champion and 2 time olympic champion. She doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and all those fuckers can stfu.

Crazy thing is that she is still really humble in interviews. Great athlete and seemingly a great person too

There are ~40 world cup races a year across all disciplines.
Shiffrin CAN win in all of them but is top of the sport in Slalom and Giant Slalom, which are about 20 races a season.

What's wrong with Liensberger?

Incredible skier. What a crazy achievement. I can't imagine how much pressure fell off her shoulders today. Looking forward to following her career to 100 wins.

I never claimed anything to the contrary and do completely agree
