Mikaela Shiffrin breaks Lindsey Vonn’s World Cup wins record
And another record could await the star American skier.
Allysa Seely clinched gold in the PTS2 triathlon, defending her title from five years ago. Team USA teammate Hailey Danz repeated her silver medal as well, for a 1-2 U.S. finish.

Seely’s first-place finish looked unlikely only eight months ago when the Paralympian landed in the hospital with a life-threatening infection.
“So many people thought it wasn’t possible even eight months ago,” Seely said after the race.
“Five years ago still feels like a fairytale,” she added. “Today, I’m just so grateful.”
And another record could await the star American skier.
Shiffrin came up short again this weekend.
The gymnast has competed in the last two Summer Games.
Shiffrin has a chance for No. 83 on Tuesday.
