Lindsey Vonn
Lindsey Vonn won 82 World Cup races across her career, the most by any American skier in history and second only to Ingemar Stenmark and Mikaela Shiffrin on the sport's all-time list, built primarily around dominance in the speed disciplines of downhill and super-G. She won Olympic gold in the downhill at the 2010 Vancouver Games, becoming the first American woman to win Olympic gold in that event, and added four overall World Cup titles across her career, a level of season-long consistency across every discipline that complemented her event-specific speed dominance. Vonn's career was repeatedly interrupted by serious injuries, including multiple ACL tears and a fractured arm, and she competed through years of chronic knee pain that eventually forced her retirement in 2019 — a career shortened by injury even as she remained one of the sport's most dominant downhill skiers whenever healthy enough to race. Her combination of speed-event dominance, global crossover fame, and a relentless recovery from injury after injury made her the face of American alpine skiing for over a decade, and her 82 World Cup wins remain the standard against which subsequent American skiers, male or female, are measured.
VS
Mikaela Shiffrin
Mikaela Shiffrin surpassed Ingemar Stenmark's long-standing record of 86 World Cup wins in March 2023, and has continued to extend the record well past 100 wins since, a total now considered the most statistically dominant career in alpine skiing history across either gender. She's won multiple Olympic gold medals, including slalom golds at the 2014 Sochi and 2018 Pyeongchang Games, along with six overall World Cup titles, a combination of single-event specialization and season-long, multi-discipline consistency that few skiers in the sport's history have matched simultaneously. Shiffrin's technical slalom ability is widely regarded as among the most precise the sport has ever produced, and unlike many of history's great technical specialists, she's also won World Cup races in speed disciplines like downhill and super-G, giving her wins across every event alpine skiing offers rather than concentrated dominance in just one or two. Her father's death in 2020 and a series of serious crashes, including a frightening high-speed fall at the 2024 World Cup season, have tested her career at multiple points, and her ability to return to record-breaking form after each setback is a significant part of why she's now widely considered the greatest alpine skier, male or female, in the sport's history.
