American skier Mikaela Shiffrin has surpassed Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark with a record 87th World Cup win. But she does not think it makes her the greatest ski racer of all time. Shiffrin says “people root for who they want to win – for whatever reason.” Shiffrin turns 28 Monday and is bound to add to her tally of wins as other milestones will come her way. Stenmark says Shiffrin "can win more than 100.” Records are also on the cards for Shiffrin when it comes to the number of crystal globes – the award for winning the season discipline or overall title.
