Mikaela Shiffrin maintained her unbeaten streak in slalom with her third win of the season  and matched Lindsey Vonn’s record for most women’s World Cup victories in a single discipline.

Shiffrin earned her 43rd career slalom win by dominating Sunday’s race, posting the fastest times in both runs to beat her Slovakian rival Petra Vlhova by 0.61 seconds. Vonn had 43 downhill wins when she retired after the world championships last  victory left Shiffrin three short of the overall record for most wins in a discipline held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark, who won 46 giant slaloms between 1975-89.
