I went quite wide on this second run, but I don\u2019t think that turn was what cost me so much,\u201d Shiffrin said. \u201cSo I have to look at the final pitch and also just think about what I can do to be more aggressive. But the most important thing is also just to get some energy back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Already with seven wins this season, Shiffrin is also quickly approaching Ingemar Stenmark\u2019s overall record \u2014 between men and women \u2014 of 86 victories.<\/p>\n<p>Vonn retired four years ago when injuries ended her pursuit of Stenmark\u2019s record.<\/p>\n<p>Grenier\u2019s best finishes in her 89 previous World Cup races were fourth in this race last year and fourth in a super-G in Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo, Italy, in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Grenier won three medals \u2014 a gold, a silver and a bronze \u2014 at junior worlds between 2015 and 2016. But she broke the tibia and fibula bones in her lower right leg a couple months after her then-best result in Cortina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had four breaks and it just took a really long time to heal.
