KVITFJELL, Norway—American skier Mikaela Shiffrin finished in fourth place in a World Cup super-G on Friday and missed out on a record-tying 86th career victory.
Shiffrin was the ninth starter and trailed then-leader Elena Curtoni of Italy by 0.15 seconds. The race was eventually won by Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who edged Curtoni by a mere 0.01 seconds.
Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland trailed by 0.12 seconds in third.
Shiffrin needs one victory to match Ingemar Stenmark ’s total victories on the all-time list. The Swede competed in the 1970s and 80s.
“I felt very good with my skiing,” Shiffrin said. “Obviously it’s quite tight so I’ll just see if I can maybe get a little bit more (the next race) but not go overboard.”…
