“Don’t count me out,” said Vonn, the winner of 82 World Cup races, a record for female skiers. The mistake occurred right in front of the head coach of the United States team, Paul Kristofic. “She flew far and slightly off to the left and had to make a fairly significant correction,” Kristofic told The Associated Press. “I really wasn’t expecting this.”Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic champion, is now a four-time world champion and a five-time medalist at the worlds. She also has 56 World Cup victories, which put her 26 behind Vonn on the career list and 30 behind the men’s record-holder, Ingemar Stenmark.
